i got the heater core for free, i think its alumminum, and the Prescott core isnt even out so how do u know its worse than the Northwood, and it has a 1mb cache, it will even reach 5Ghz later with the socket 775, and also its not going to cost $1000, more like $780 for the asus 9800xt and new 3.2 Prescott.
im thinking of just cooling my processor b/c i dont want to fool around with the GPU and its shim/heatsink b/c one of the reasons i chose the Asus' 9800xt is cause of the cooling fan bonus. also my chipset can do without.
i do plan on OCing this my CPU and GPU, the new XTs have a built in sensor for OCing, and my current m/b has a program also to use in Windows, or i could OC in bios, which one do yall think, my mobo is Gigabytes GA-8KNXP!(cost me $240 retail brand new)
thnx, Laney
