this looks REALLY promising.

a very good read as well. the e8400 still takes the cake, bang for buck. he e8500 is a great chip and all, but for near the same performance, i like it better. i was quite impressed to see the stock settings on the e8400 vs the e6850 were relativley close, and how the die shrink worked out nicely for the e8400.... i wonder if i can get the wife to let me get a new processor. lol. but at the same pricepoint, the e8400 wins over the 6850. really imperssed. especially with the oc's coming out of the beasts.
