To be honest I never even thought of it.

It was hard enough to find dual 775 socket motherboards which usually ended up being for Servers - without all the USB and BIOS functions you need to tune out a worksation.

But I would have come to the same conclusion as taking the QX6700 over the True Quad that is available now. I still want Fast speed in some areas where a quad or dual would spread load out in favor of being able to do more at one time.

Since the majority of my needs on this machine are workstation/user operated (single focused)... this setup is better for me then a server type setup that spreads out more for multitasking.

But, with 4 cores I can still multi task just fine... encoding apps run in the background and I hardly even notice they are running.

That looks like a sweeeet setup for encoding. I want one!

Best decision you made was to pass on Vista (piece of crap compared to XP).

for that you'd need an LGA-771 mobo/cpu. the qx6700 equivalent is the e5355 which has the same clock speed and cores, but has a 1333MHz FSB
