I just built myself a new computer. Even though I read much hype about boards and processors, I can gladly admit that the Asus P5B Deluxe board coupled with the Intel E6600 Core Duo, and 2 gig of ram, it an excellent combination that would spoil anyone quickly. The instant speed is amazing! Downloading anything is rapid! The Asus board has enough SATA jacks to run six devices. I am not a gamer, but I do dowload lots of stuff much easier these days. P.
