Grab yourself an SSD if you can and get ready to be dumbfounded by the speed.

What's this about SB prices dropping? I hadn't seen that anywhere.

I'm especially curious because I'm going to the Micro Center in Houston in a few days and I had intended to pick up an i5.

Also, (and not to hijack your thread) does anyone know if Micro Center is still running the $XX off any SB motherboard deal with purchase of SB CPU deal?

Finally, congratulations on your purchase! I hope everything works flawlessly for you.
