Hi,
I'm using the Gigabyte EP45-UD3L motherboard with the Intel E7500 chip clocked to 3.98GBs, I'm also running 8 GBs of OCZ Gold ram. I'm thinking of upgrading to the quad core Intel Q9300 2.5 GB stock clock, just not sure if this is a worth while investment($139.00)? Main hard drive is an Intel X-25 80GB SSD, second drive is a 500GB Barracuda.

The pc is used for Bluray burning mostly, no games. I'm happy with perfomance but always looking for more. Any feedback or advice would be appreciated

Thanks Papajo
