Greg,
Who sells the E8400 for $149?  Newegg shows it for $170.
But I do agree otherwise; 3.0GHz is plenty quick for me.
This will be the first completely new system(s) since the late '90's.
Thanks,
Duncan

The power figures you see in that review are for the WHOLE SYSTEM.

Frankly, though, I'd just use its $149, 3.0GHz E8400 cousin.
