Quad core, here I come!

  

So I broke down and bought some (probably unneeded) upgrades for my computer.  I have been eyeing this chip for a while now.  With such a good price, i thought it would be a good time to buy some (slightly outdated) technology.

Add in another $25 (!!!) for a second pair of 4GB RAM and I got a nice little upgrade.  My christmas vacation will consist of me:

• installing new CPU
  
• popping in 8GB of RAM
  
• formating hard drives
  
• installing Vista 64 bit
