Core 2 QX6850 *drools*

Direct Link and specs.

Before you call me crazy for spending $1000 bucks on this thing. I got it through the Intel Retail Edge program for $249. Found it sitting on my doorstep today, and just finished popping it in.

The only thing I ran on my system since my new hardware was 3dmark06 once, I scored around 9k I believe. I don't care much for benchmarks. About to run it now, I'll be back with the results.

Here are some pictures, excuse any drool.

3dmark06 score is now 12844 . That's a crazy increase, my e6300 must have been bottlenecking the crap out of my videocard.

Soon comes the real tests, some actual gaming!

After I give the woman some attention, or I'm in the dog house.

and I'll set it on fire!

I will when I move into my new apartment. I'm not sure how well this bios recovers from a bad oc, and I have no room here to manually clear cmos.

omg speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.
