Bobby,
I will read this. But only for future information. I do not believe my
current A7N8X-deluxe will remain reliable until Core i7 cpus hit the
market. Yes, I'll then need new m/b's yet again. ?x58??
Such is life...........as I have gotten used to.............. :)
Decision made and order placed! I will end up "Wolfdale" Core2Duo Intel!
Now to order the stinking RAM!
Best,
Duncan

Greg,
OK, I think I will do the E8400-retail. Are there any negative comments
about the hs/fan that comes with the E8400? New hs/fans are possible for
future needs as conditions warrant; and, would most likely go to
ThermalRight unless a better cooler exists................ :)
The cases are all Lian-Li PC69's (that have been a good investment from
years past!).
The case fans are not an issue; can be updated as required.
Over the years, I have found that most default hs/fan combos from intel
work well at the box chip speeds........... I do not plan to
overclock. The 3.0GHz speed is just fine.
Comments welcome?
Thanks,
Duncan
