Sounds good and I'm jealous :D
 
I still cant believe how cheap this overall upgrade is going to cost me.

£570 new. Then I can prob sell my current PC (Mobo, RAM, GFX, CPU) for a total of £230.

Thats £340 for an upgrade. Not bad my eyes are constantly :eek:.
 
I'd love to upgrade to Conroe, but simply funds wont allow at the moment. Worse still is this beastly Opterons dont fetch pittance now, which is sad really because 1.80ghz - 3.15ghz is a serious clock even by these new C2D CPU's standards.

its a CAB1E 0514 stepping Dave :)

Just checked and your processor doesnt even sell for much more than my skt 754 3000+! Mine seems to go for £40 on the bay and yours £45-60.
 
yeah its sooooo tempting isnt it, just the fact I got a maxed out CC to pay off first :p

Maybe beginning of next year when next gen Windows and GFX are mainstream I might think of forking out; but it is forking out as selling these bits would be pointless as they make so little; might as well keep them and have some fun modding a case for them to sit in :cool:
