What do you think would be possible with this setup or could you
recommend something better
You'd be much better off not buying any 7xxx series chipsets; if
you're going intel, pick up a woodcrest or get amd..
FWIW 7xxx chipsets have too many problems, and HT on those cpu's
causing issues (i think some chipset errata tries to make the HT route IRQ's)
