BLEH. ~$400-450 after rebates if I want to upgrade to 2500k, P67, DDR3. Another hundred for 2600k for bigadv. Don't want to spend money.
Sent PMs to some members selling stuff on another forum. Could upgrade my p35 to an X48, giving me another pci-e slot and hopefully let me overclock my q6600 higher. That would be about $60. I could then put the 8800GTS 320mb in the rig, which would up ppd by about 4k probably. I don't pay for power here at this apartment, at least not directly.
I think the x48 might be the best bet. Up my PPD, and keep things cheap. Now hope they respond, or try and find another x48. Maybe I should post here and see if anyone has one sitting around.
