I'm liking the comparisons that have been given, this PC is about 3x faster than my old one, and the C2D's appear to be around 2.5x faster than this current one, so, when i get the money i could just drop an E4300 and some nice DDR2-800 RAM into this board and be well away... I like it
Just defragging now, i forgot that copying allsorts via a network would fragment m drive to hell, then switch it back into SATA mode and see if that makes any difference. My RAM timings are 4-4-4-12 btw.
