    Hi the e8400 is a super cpu but you may well consider the e2200, saving £80, and getting a decent graphics card -8600, ddr3 , and a budget p35 o/clocking board like ip35-e or p5k or ds3l -all 55 to 60 quid.
    I have e2180 @3330ghz on cheap cooler with ip35-e. e8400 will go 4ghz easy but you will not use it's capacity for more than a tiny fraction of time.
    Heard they went to moon with 386 cpu but now I've seen Capricorn One.

    That was clever, how did they get hold of processors years before they were designed? ;)
