Re: Need Professional Opinion.
wow, i can't believe anyone actually bought these CPUs
 i'm with OldOfEvil on this, ditch the FX-74, just like AMD ditched it faster then it released it. back the video cards, 2xgtx280 if you are going to keep that rig.

Re: Need Professional Opinion.
I'm with the guys above. ditch the FX-74 & simply get a fast C2Q system.
for the video cards : 2x280's.

Re: Need Professional Opinion.
$1,600 bucks for a CPU? you must be crazy, especially now.
in about 2-4 months Nehalem will be out, if you really can spend that much on CPU wait for Nehalem.

But as the others have said I would go with a Q6600 for now. Nehalem is just around the corner take those extra Benjies you save and hold off for a Bloomfield wtfpwnage machine if you really want. Here's hoping with the destruction of your current board/procs they will finally be the last of the Quad Father's to fall.
