I was told to wait for "the new Phenom", though the guy said rumor has it the release will be in Jan or Feb next year. Anyways, it doesn't matter for me. I had Athlon-XP, now I'm with a Sempron. It's time to get an Intel for a change. I hope a CPU like those I target at will be more than enough for my computing needs for the next 2 or 3 years. So, my questions still remain: - q6600, e8400 or q8200? Which is faster after overclock with plain air cooling and plain mid-tower box? - what mobo should I take for it - what kind of ddr2 should I get -- Best regards, Daniel
