That´s exactly the problem. When I saw the price of the E8400, I was ready to order. But then I saw the delivery time.... Well, could´nt wait for that. Has gone as far as I think I can, with my current E6600, something new to play with is needed. So... Now I´ll try with a quad, my first. And a G0 SLACR should be fun enough. Also ordered a new CPU-cooler, Thermalright Ultra120 Extreme, so I´ve got hopes for some nice OC. Also about to upgrade/change my gfx, but am in a bit of a dilemma here. Should I opt for a nice 8800GT, and OC the h*ll out of it, or should I rape my bank-account and go 9800GTX.... Aww! My `ead hurts !!!  But speed six, when you get your E8400 up and running on your QuadGT, please let us know, how it fares. VERY interested.  Ps. And speed six, could´nt you fill out the "My system". I´m curious.... Pps. 09/04-08 - Now with 9800GTX. Ppps. 10/04-08 - Now also with Q6600 SLACR and Ultra120-Extreme |

Re: **Official ABIT AB9 QuadGT Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**
As per my response in the Hardware forum I flashed the Beta BIOS on my QuadGT over the long weekend and installed an E8200. It has been running faultlessly since but most of the options are still on auto/default. I've overclocked to 3200 for the interim until I have enough time to tweak and test it properly. The same CPU when it was installed on my main PC was running fine at 4GHz but it required a fair amount of voltage. I'll be happy with 3.6GHz as the HTPC needs to stay cool as well!
