Why didn't anyone tell me how seriously fast these chips were?
*is still awestruck*
I need faster RAM though, as this DS3 board has no downward Ram dividers... |

Nice one mate I was eye'in these chips up as soon as the benchmarks came out many moons back.
Mind you the E6600 was the best bang for buck when I was looking - correct me if I'm wrong I cant be arsed to g00gle for it now.
Lovely lovely chips leaving us old skool AMDers gob smacked. I'll prolly go for the upgrade next year we'll see what chipset quad core has a dependency on.
For the time being my Athlon XP-M is doing me fine thank gawd I didn't upgrade to the 64s did a lot of reading up and found the performance gain was just not good enough and hence no point for me.
The duos are in a new league altogether though so good on you.
