Guys, amazing results so far, really interesting watching this thread! I've got a EP45-UD3P coming in the mail as well as 4GB of G.Skill DDR2 800 CAS4 which I'm planning to run at around 500Mhz...

Anyway, not sure if I should go for a E8400 or E8500 E0 cpu. Everything that I've seen shows the E8500 clocking higher than the E8400 even using the 9x multi instead of 9.5. I'm pretty confident that my mobo will easily run 500MHz FSB so is it going to come down to the chip? My goal is around 4.4GHz...which CPU would you go with?
