....I could replace my 2.8c with the 3.0c I'm getting and auction the
2.8c and the IS7-E off for probably less than a $30 or $40 hit...I
took another look and it turns out my current CPU is already a 3.0C
Northwood, so I'm going to be pretty happy having two of them. I
just hope the IS7-E motherboard doesn't provide too much of a
liability in having only 2 memory slots and not having firewire or a
RAID controller. If that becomes an issue, I'll probably just sell
it and look for another P4P800-E Deluxe.

I'm figuring that by the time the kids need a lot of power for games,
there'll be a new generation of processors and platforms anyway, In
the meantime, this'll be a pretty capable machine for a while.

I appreciate the help - Thanks!
