Is the Q9450 really in stock on the 10th?

There is an Xeon version of the Q9450, "X3350" (Yorkfield). This is hard to find but has been released.

will the X3350 work in regular p35 mobos?

Its called a Xeon X3350, its an Intel thing so they can track how many Uniprocessor servers they are selling.

Don't the Xeons have different internal "microcode" from Core2s, making them faster in some tasks and slower in others?

i've heard there's loads of differences (i.e they run hotter) but nothing thats been backed up.

Not quite the whole story. The microcode inside all Xeons, whether S771 or S775, is 'tuned' to enhance the Server Role they are designed for. They actually perform worse than Core2 Duo or Quads at gaming, video conversion etc.
