My money (literally) will be on a Q9450. My current chip (E2180) is destined for a HTPC rig. If you want a chip right now, then a Q6600.
The Q9450 will be as bugger to overclock due to its low multi. Also a few shops have them on pre order for £210+, which is a good 50quid more than a Q6600 G0.
If you are going to overclock then a Q6600 will be a better deal.
