I will be building another system soon. It will be used for distributed computing only. I ordered a Q6600 quad-core (G0 stepping) and an Abit IP35 Pro. I've heard good things about the Abit board, so I will give it a try.
Thanks to the cooler weather, I can run my machines at slightly higher speeds. During the summer, the room temperature got unbearable at times. Computers generate more heat than people think. In an effort to conserve energy, I tried not to use the A/C a lot. But now, that's not a problem. My cat spends more time with me because the room where I have my systems running is the warmest one in the house. Cats always know the coolest and warmest places when they want to take a nap.

Any plans on a rig with X38 chipset?
Not at this time. From what I have seen, there isn't much of a performance difference between P35 and X38. And the P35 boards are available at much lower prices.
Hey buddy, been a while, good to see you are still on the scene.

Thanks for stopping by. :)
