New to folding - Need help

[3.0charlie]

Hmm. ~700$ for a X58 board, DDR3 and an i7. Minus what you would get by selling your DS3P/Q6600/HP2 combo...

mmmm...looks like our formerly quiet, low-profile Team is starting to get a little feisty. It's nice to see signs of little friendly competitions starting to bubble up in the lower echelon's...

I think I will keep my current rig as a dedicated folding machine after my next upgrade...the old Crosshair mobo is a troublemaker and I don't trust it. However I am thinking that I might try to push the OC on my trusty Q6600. I got 3.0 now on stock volts, just less than 50c load while crunching Boinc so i think theres some more room in that one...

I will prob go i7 this summer. However, I will be getting a big tax return this year, but I have promised the cost-conscious missus that it was going to pay down bills and save for the wedding (next year).

I hope those 920s still OC well this summer...otherwise I might have to go looking for steppings on the boxes again.
