Lol, I didn't even notice the name thing.
I just meant like for like the Q8s score slightly higher than the Q9s. The Q8s only go up to the Q84 and the Q9s only start at Q93 so the Q83 vs Q93 and Q94 vs Q84 are the only ones you can make a direct comparison between so even though the Q8400 is missing off that list assuming it scales like the others it should be a bit higher than the Q9400 and considering most places stock the Q94 for £30 more than the Q84 and the Q93 for £40 more than the Q82 if punkys budget is restrictive I thought the Q8200 would be the ideal choice.
Dont get me wrong if money wasn't an issue I'd be right with you and suggest an I7 or a Q94+, I just think if hes trying to keep costs down unless he needs the additional features of the Q9s the Q8s seem the much better choice.

My overclocked Q9450 scores a little bit more then the i7 920 which is interesting and 2000 points higher than the Q8300

Showoff
EDIT: My current CPU is only ranked 46th
Not bad for a mobile cpu I suppose.
