Garry, Thanks for the info. I'll look into possible delay issues and give you an update on what I "plan" to build in Jan. And yes, I will definitely be running XP 64 bit for max performance. This will be build as a work machine, but I'll do a dual boot for regular XP so I can take advantage of a new game or two.
The main reason I'm waiting for the new Q9450 is the extra 4MB shared cache (12MB total) and the new power saving features; oh yes, and the boost in performance from the drop down to 45nm :) From tomshardware reports I've read, this thing should OC easily up to 3.4 or 3.6 GHz on air. I'll update later.
