    Not that bad as an upgrade, has VT support, small cache isn't going to win any prizes. You're stuck in the 775 socket if this is a new build, though, which means DDR2 (at least I don't know of any 775 boards supporting DDR3?) Overall, no thanks.

    I'd still opt for the AMD quad that's in this price range for new budget builds.

    Edit: Yeah, there are a smattering of MBs using DDR3 after all.

    When is intel going to drop the "Wolfdale" name and go with crappoladale?
