Well seeing as you already ordered it there isn't much to say..

But yeah. I would have said you should have gone for P35 instead of P45, but if you have the money to spend so be it :)

Nice cooler choice too. But please, don't let it go to waste - overclock that sucker.

Why didn't you decide to go with the newer generation of quad-cores?

cause they're buggy and don't really overclock that well

Actually, they overclock brilliantly, but they don't last near as long. On the overclocking forum I use people have killed their new 45nm quad cores within months with only a moderate overclock. I'd steer clear of them

The guys on OCN swear by the Q6600
