I know my current rig is much faster then my last. But again, i never had to worry about voltages or anything else.

I just switched from DFI Ultra-D and an Opty 185 at 3.1 and I don't really see that the AMD system was any smoother or snappier. Maybe its just me. I'm very happy with the e8400 and my choice of mb. As far as the degradation, its a little scary, but it appears atm that as long as you keep the vcore reasonable, you wont have any problems. Anyway, I hope you get things worked out. I'm pretty new at this, but I can help, let me know.
