You have no idea how much toruble I went through for this thing, but I'm now using my new processor motherboard combo. For those curious its an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 with a MSI P35 Neo-F motherboard. I'm so happy, but also so sick of the whole thing I hardly care to even use my computer at this point.

Just to give you some information, the motherboard I bought I got because it was cheaper and specifically stated it worked with 45nm chips. Well, it turns out it only works after a BIOS update which you can really only apply by using an older processor that works with the board out of the box. Luckily I had one of those, but the trouble I went through to get this information and get the BIOS update and get the new processor in and all, well it was a lot of work. I guess things are never harder than the first time, Here's to future annoyances.

Oh, on that note, it seems upgrading the processor is somehow causing errors with some cable service. I don't have a cable card hooked up and I do not have the energy to figure that out and fix it right now. So those messages are going to keep annoying me for a while, I guess.

How I love/hate computers...
