I have gone to the Dark side.

After years and years of using only AMD processors I have gone Intel. I got up early yesterday and grabbed the newspaper. There in the Fry's add I see an e8500 bundled with an ECS G31T-M for $134.99! I grabbed a travel mug of java an headed right out and to my surprise they still had them in stock(it was a one day sale). I don't plan on using the cheap ass ECS board myself (I'll use it in a build for someone else and charge them $35.00 ). I'm ordering a GA-EP45-UD3P using a couple Newegg gift certificates received for xmas. This should be quite the budget build and a bit of an improvement over my 5000+ BE.

 

[the last resort]

$135, nice

*gawks* $115?? Why me AMD? Why did I pay $99 for a BE-2400???
