Computer Build and Introduction

[rawfuls]

Lynnfields, are great.
Though, I got the AMD and Biostar combo for around $60 or so.
It was on clearance @ Fry's, so I said why not!

Sure, it's not going to be overclocking or anything, but it's much much cheaper.
It works great for my use, some heavy gaming here and there, casual gaming, and then rendering, decoding, and encoding videos.
Only gets to about 55°C when I'm really trying to bog it down.

The proc. separately is $100 (first quad for $100!), and the mobo is roughly 80 or so.

The computer before this one was the E8500 w/ ECS mobo, that sucker was fast!
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.16GHz (Not even OC'd)..
I've seen people OC'ing 8500s to over 4.0, and well, that thing would've ripped.
