You need to move on from the Q9650. I should get a new setup with an i7 860 today. It wasn't that expensive so I decided to give it a shot to see how much faster loading things would be with a faster cpu. Will take me all frigging evening to insulate everything again, get a good OC going, and make a new nlite image. Expecting 4.5+. I'll post how much faster 498 ff loads.

I'll probably hook up my Es to the ICH10R this time instead of the 9211.
i know but the sexcore is one expensive sex

best wishes on your new setup
