Life is manic and not having much time for ciao at the moment, i'll be trying to do some more PC hardware reviews soon on some of the upcoming hardware.

Excellent Processor, the usual simple to install and the stock fan does its job well. Very overclockable and can easily reach speeds of 3.0ghz without having to change the cooler.
Multi tasking is now a joy not a chore, a certainly if you use any sort of processor intensive applications you would find it a real boon.
My render times in 3dStudio Max and Cinema4D have reduced drastically and enabled me to work much faster and happier.
Gaming of which i do a lot has also noticed some improvements and will only get better as more and more people begin to use the new multicore CPUs.
Also now with the recent announcement from intel that 6 core cpus are just around the corner the price of quad core chips will drop even more making them an even more attractive and great value purchase.
I would also not purchasing the faster quad core chips unless you have money to spare, as this chip while running at 2.4ghz straight from the box can easily be overclocked with very little effort, and for minimal expenditure for a aftermarket cooling solution speeds of 3.5ghz are not unknown on this processor.
My processor is overclocked to 3ghz and runs happily never going above 70 degrees under full load and that is on the stock cooler.
Hope this helps someone
