2.4ghz Conroe for me, 4MB L2 cache, $309. Looks like it'll be a beast!!! Sure, 9x multi, but for $700 extra I could get extra videocards, much better RAM, a bunch of great hard disks, etc. I know, I'm violating XS spirit by saying this, but the extra just isn't worth it in that case... I'm thinking a Conroe 2.4ghz stock could hit a good 3.2ghz or so on air which would be sweet !
