I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you meant to say "Is the Q9550 that much slower than a i7 920??" It isn't incredibly slower than a i7 920, but it is slower.
i7 920 vs Q9550
Is the 9550 that much slower than a 920?? Just curios boyys

It depends. In gaming, it doesn't really matter.
For more cpu heavy stuff, it's slightly faster clock for clock (like 20%), and if you're running multithreaded applications then it's going to be much much faster due to ht.
Also, they overclock better. 9500s generaly won't do 4.4ghz. Also on the i7 you get tripple channel ram which can help in some specific situations.
So really, it depends on your use.

Honestly It's just for gaming, and I want to get the 9550 at microcenter for 170

I do multi-task, so if I would benefit that much from going to an 920, then I just might. My board in my sig rig isnt that old, so I can still RMA it.

If you RMA the mobo, could you replace it with a 1366? If that's the case, go for the 920. You could sell your ddr2 ram for a fair amount.

ahh. Well both are great processors. If you're not using your computer for anything other then gaming and normal use, just go for the q9550. It will save you the hassle of selling your other stuff.
