Sorry about these pictures being so big it makes them blurry if anyone knows how to scale them down please tell me.

Im happy with the build but not happy that I spent a day thinking the board was dead because it wouldnt post with my 651, until I put a Celeron D in it and updated the BIOS.

Yea, but some programs like 3Dmark01SE think its dual core, dont ask me why...
 
Just noticed your 651 Ceder Mill is 65nm....... I guess intel is finally catching up again, yay.
 
I never had this system on aircooling so I wouldnt know.
What benchmarks should I try on this thing? I used to use PCmark02.
