right on :tup: Got the same processor and love it 
it really does scream especially if you’re using software that takes advantage of it (or do alot of multitasking).
I have yet to see the machine get held up, except for disk access.
oh, and you will want another gig of memory as well. Don’t bother with 2 (unless you want to) because 32bit os’s, from my understanding, can only handle 4… but due to other bus’s and v-ram, it will only see part of the 4th GB, if any at all.
with my 512mb video card, it’s only giving me 3.25gb of available system memory. On a regular basis, my memory usage is between 25% and 52%… just fyi. Why limit yourself when memory is so cheap?
