Damn, why do I always choose to the worst times to build PCs?
Right when I finished my Dual-Core Athlon rig Core 2 came out.

I was dead set on getting a Q9450, and this has to rear its ugly ass.
I don't think I can wait to Q4. Plus, I'm willing to bet that a Q9450 @ 3.8 can beat this at stock, which is good enough for me...
I wonder if the IMC will be as crippling as it was to A64s OCing.

I'm thinking that a Nehalem + Mobo will cost around $1500 - $1700.
