Damn, because of the Holiday i have to wait even longer for my two new BFG 9800GTX's.  Well, those and some comp eye candy i ordered!  Next new processor.  I have amd board so i might go Phenom 2.5 Black Ed. or just switch to Intel e8400 or q6600!

The AMD 9850 is a beast, used it in a recent build for one of my buddies and it beats the hell out of the old dual-core box he has. Yeah it's only 65nm, blah blah blah, but also $1,200 cheaper

So save your money, no need to buy a new Intel board for a whole 10% increase in power...
