Ok... so I've got to do a lot more video now... well what do you know... that also means it's time for a New Toy =)

After about 3 weeks of intense stress over picking the right shit I finally ordered the parts.

- CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad (QX6700):
I picked it over the dual core extreme and the quad that is out because it had more level 2 cache then both.

- RAM: 4 GIGS Corsair Dominator XMS 800(PC6400):
almost got the 1066 Dominator... but there was much debate over if I would actually be able to get it to run at 1066. Never did find anyone who could tell me with absolute certainty (it was pretty sad).

- OS: Windows XP 64-bit:
Absolutely NASTY once you get it setup right. Key here is not to burden the machine with a heavy OS. I've Had Vista on Dual boot for months and I'm pretty far from impressed. It had like 2 things I really liked but overall it felt like it was just something for Microsoft to do to keep busy.

Absolutely Happy about the results... this thing does things so fast.. sometimes I don't even realize they are done.
