the 8800gtx does beat the 9800gtx in some occasions...

Newegg.com - EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

Hey, the GIGABYTE GA-G33M-DS2R and the ABIT IP35-E LGA in Mid-end are deactivated items on Newegg, just so you know.

I know they're deactivated. I just leave them there, because sometimes they reactivate, when they're back in stock. I just need to add more site links for them.

 

[veg1992]

Ya, those items are huge come and go, because we recommend them so much (well I recommend the IP35-e a heck of a lot)

Just bought E8500 here: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Processor EU80570PJ0876M - 3.16GHz, 6MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, Wolfdale, Dual-Core, OEM, Socket 775, Processor at TigerDirect.com

Should it be added to the list?

 

[b1gapl]

At the moment, no, because of the price. The E8400 can overclock easily to 4GHz, just as well as the E8500. And anything over 3.2GHz is plenty enough for everybody. Plus, the Q6600 is much cheaper to get two more cores over the E8500.

Upps, sounds like I made a bad deal by spending $290 on E8500

 

[Nagasama]

well...look at it this way...you have a 9.5 multi instead of 9. *shrug*
i'd send it back and get the 8400.
the e8200 has a 8x multi, but you should be able to get 3.4ghz out of it (425 fsb x 8) even with a (fairly) crapy mobo.
it's $180 @ newegg. and, like b1g said...it smokes im sure at 3.4ghz.

I think you should add E2220, because it cost only $6 more than E2200

Newegg.com - Intel Pentium E2220 Allendale 2.4GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - CPUs / Processors

Also, the price difference between the new E4700 and E4600 is not big
