My E8400/Asus P45 rig is still humin' right along...@4.5GHz with 6GB of DDR2-1066, a 4850, and a Vertex 2 boot drive it's still a pretty quick rig. A lot of people would be amazed at what just an SSD upgrade can do for an older rig...maybe toss in some extra memory, install Win7 64bit and enjoy.
no prob, share onlyQuote:

Might have to get me one of those E8400's just for fun. Since I'm going to make my son build his new rig this would be good practice.
I thought I'd bring this thread back to life momentarily by saying that my E8400 has been overlocked at 4.05 ghz on a thermalright cooler for approximately 6 years now and is still running solidly strong and as fast as ever. BF4 comes out and it played the beta with two old 8800's in SLI. Upgraded the gpu to the GTX 760 and am anxious to see how it performs on a 2560x1440 monitor. Thought for a second that I'd try and grab a qx9650 on ebay but am now contemplating keeping the E8400 and really maxing it out (possibly 4.5 ghz daily use) as well as the 8 gb of DDR2 I have.
