I think even Q9450 is slightly too expensive. The two you mentioned are
priced waaaaayyy too high considering the fact that you can overclock
Q9450 to work at higher frequencies than Q9550@stock. And I'm very used
to OCing.

Yes, at this point there are still only a few apps that benefit from
multiple cores - even 2 cores. So for most people there is no point
getting a quad core. But things change constantly.
