Nice!

Thanks looking like what i have now, ordered it from OCUK and its great :D

Good luck with it.
 
Thanks guys. I'm so stoked for it to get here, it's gonna be the longest week of school in my life. I'll post pictures and OCs once I get it up and running.

One quick question. I want to dual boot with Ubuntu 64-bit and Vista Ultimate 64 and I want to set up my drives in a Raid 0. Is there any tutorial or anywhere I can go to get information on how to do that?
 
I went with the Q6600 because it has better OC'ing potential with a higher multiplier, and I don't really much media encoding so the SSE4.1 instruction set on the Q9450 wouldn't really be worth it. The Q6600 is just so much cheaper, and if I'm decently lucky, I should have no problems pushing it to 3.6.

I did consider going with the Q9300, but $214.99 of the Q6600 vs. $279.99 of the Q9300 made me think otherwise.
 
yeh, i guess... i jsut multi task a lot, and i am starting to do more and more work with video so...

pics please, i would like to see how you've done in that P180...
 
I also do a lot of multi-tasking so that's why I had to make sure I got a quad core. If I had more cash, I definitely would've went for the Q9***. The Q6600 was just better value wise IMO. I'll definitely get pics up when I can. I'm hoping it all shows up here on Thursday.
