So Anyways, I get my cables, and I am looking around.... What do I see sitting on the shelf but an Intel i7 CPU.... OoooOO Goodie! So I looked at the Core2's, and they were marked down a bit. Got the urge, so I did it.... I bought a Q9550 for $299.00 to replace my E6750.

If all goes to plan, the new CPU will be going in tonight, I can't wait!!
Maybe you should have gotten a better GPU
