Just chicken, oops checking. I hate to see people make some of the darn mistakes I made. I above all should know better. It's just you get that oboy, I'm getting a new mobo feeling and you lose track of what UR doing.

Good luck with your hunt, I just looked at a Intell 875Perl. Nice board.

Since UR ugrading your processor have you taken into account the rest of your hardware? Will your memory, ATA drives, video and other cards be compatible? I've upgrade several times in the last 1.5 years and the real bite in the butt is having to changing memory etc. Now with the new Serial drives out it opens up Pandor's box again. I'm current looking at the new mobo for other reasons but I refuse to buy new memory again.
Just something to consider.

It's a good point and you really need to be careful with your budget – easy to get out of hand.
