If you know anyone is in the market for a new processor for a socket 775 computer, Microcenter is running a huge sale on the Intel Q9550.
$150. *faints*

I hate buying hardware. Two months later it's old, worthless and you get to read about all the new stuff you could have bought for that money.

The core 2 quad is already old, an i5 will beat it easily.
Though it is a nice upgrade if you have a motherboard that supports it.

USA only... the BASTARDS!!!

though I think my C2D6750 is adequate for a HTPC, which is what this puter will become after my next big PC spend.....

I'm a upgrade next summer or so, then send you the empty packaging of all my new kit to make you jealous, ElC.

[ElCadaver]

That may be hard, Vel. I used to run a computer business, and still keep my accounts open to buy stuff for myself at wholesale cost. Give it your best shot though be interested to see what you get.

[Veilan]

You just wrote you could get me the kit cheaper, right?

[ElCadaver]

And ship it to Germany for free! You read my mind!!!

Hold off until next year if you can. Trade commisson restricts intel to new chip release to every 2 years i believe, so thisyears Iseries will likely be blown away by what they release next.
