 : 43 rd | | | I would have never dropped $1k on this processor. I've heard you can get the same results from a Q66 just overclocked. BUT, for $260 it's insane not to.
I ripped a dvd to iso in 7 minutes, and my processor load didn't go over 4% the entire time.

They do it every year, I've gotten processor + board + xp bundles for like $200 before. If you work at like BB, CC, Staples, or Office Depot it's soo worth signing up for. Intel Retail Edge Program | OMG Nice +++++++ REP
