I voted for them all since your poll made no sense according to the question. :P

As far as what you do - I think get the Penryn. I know you always want to be head of the pack and if you buy the older chipset you wont be happy.

[Bushwacker]

well thats me...I make sense to only me.:tongue:

[Almuric]

I was just thinking - this means you're going to be shopping for a new motherboard!

Maybe not. I might be moving to Texas around the end of the year or the start of next year. Got a job offer from a friend in Dallas. The money is good and the benefits are way better than what I have now. The servers are a tad more up to date then the ones here on campus and I wont have to deal with students or Instructors anymore. :tup: The coolest part of it all is he's the CIO of the company and will pay for the rest of my education and for the last 3 MCSE tests. After which I'll no longer be a systems admin, he boost me to systems engineer and a big pay increase along with it. I'm pretty stoked about this man.:)

sounds like a great plan! when is the big move?
