Best lga 775 cpu?

[an annoying pirate]

I have a secondary pc running a
Core2quad q9650
1050ti
8gb ddr3 1333mhz
G41m-s3
120gb ssd/500gb hdd
Win 10/ubuntu

Last i heard of the current cpu that i have is the best but i also heard about those xeon mod which i dont know how such magic work
I dont even know if that zeon is better than the q9650

Advice?
This pc is mainly used tu run server and as a secondary pc when i get visitor at home

[_I_]

imho, upgrade to a new pentium g or i3
will run circls around the 775 build

but it will not be cheap, as ddr4 is spendy atm

pentium g 4560 3.5ghz dual core with ht = $196ar

i3 8100, 3.6ghz quad = $262ar

will run quiet and use very little power compared to the 775 build

amd does not have any cheap ryzen cpus

To answer your question, you actually have it. The Core2 Quad Q9650 is the one of the best best LGA775 CPU’s available.

The fastest of the Core2 series is the Core2 Extreme QX9770

Technically that is true, and it is the fastest Core 2 Quad CPU.

However the fastest LGA-775 era CPU is the Xeon X5492 @ 3.4 ghz, see here: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/Intel-Xeon%20X5492%20-%20AT80574KL096N.html

A lot of LGA 775 motherboards can be modified to run 771 xeons, it usually works if you follow compatibility guides.
