qx9650 is an extreme chip, the q9650 is not.

tho extreme chip has unlocked multipliers you can expect teh same OC speed with both.

the extreme chip runs a bit hotter also from what I understand.

in short go with the q9650

they are both:

Yorkfield

3.0 GHz

1333 MHz FSB

12 Mb cache

Multiplier of 9

We have had higher overclocks with the Extreme based processors, mainly because we don't have to push the FSB so aggressively to overclock, hence the use of the multiplier.
 
If have the budget, go for it.
 
Warm Regards,

I personally don't use nothing but extreme chips, but at times I can't justify the price to recommend to others.

but I think for the price the q9650 is a steal, but like Alex said, if money is no object to with extreme, but if its no object, go with qx9770
