Agreed, my system is very limited. I am tempted to forgo the expensive investment in the LGA1366 platforms, and I am leaning more towards a mid-range LGA775 platform supported by a core 2 and P45 mobo with DDR3 RAM. The Q8200 has caught my eye, and it is cheaper than the Q6600 for roughly...

I guess I was looking more at the speed than the number of cores. It's a shame having to purchase a multiple-core CPU to make this work. The CPU upgrade to my original mobo sounds pointless, especially when I plan on upgrading to the i7 when the prices drop low enough. What would you guys do...
