ya, sweet, thx, don't need to be told proper forum etiquette. i'm anxious to place this order and get it done with, before i change my mind and want to know what people think.

What exactly do you plan on doing with your system? If you think that those 2 2400+ based processors are going to function for more than a few months. I doubt it. The 2460's 20pin connector will suffer from a melt down with those processors on there. It's hard to actually answer your question without an application to base it off of. Your setup doesn't look anymore different than a basic system setup, even with the migration you mentioned. It's KISS,

it's pretty much a general use system... lots of photoshop/imageready, flash/dreamweaver, planning on getting into video editing, a media server for the apartment (hooked up to our home theatre system for music and movies) and it runs my DAoC buffbot accounts while i play

KISS?

I assume KISS = Keep It Simple, Stupid.
