That's why I'm trying to replace those B3 with the 45nm and hopefully I still can cut down my electric bill a little

Just finish replace a couple of rigs.

Before

1. P35-DS3R / Q6600 G0 @ 3.5ghz Vcore = 1.38v
2. P5B Deluxe / Q6600 B3 @ 3.3ghz Vcore = 1.36v

After
1. P35-DS3R / X3350 45nm @ 3.4ghz Vcore= 1.22v (I dont wanna go higher)
2. P5B-deluxe /Q6600 G0 (took the B3 out) @ 3.6ghz Vcore = 1.41v


Hopefully I can save some power and the clock speed is also up some
