    ok, I was recently reading another forum and I found out since my Mobo is 939-socket (New X2's are also) I was reading to see if I could, in the future, upgrade to a Dual-Core. Good news for me :) I can!
    According to this post:
    http://www.planetamd64.com/lofiversion/index.php/t8171.html
    Gigabyte Tech says with a future BIOS update, the mobo that I have WILL support Dual-Core processors :) *Goes and starts saving up $600*

    One quick question, does anyone know if I would void the warranty from a OEM (Just the processor, no Heatsink right?) if I got it and a killer aftermarket CPU Cooler?

    if you cook the processor with an aftermarket heatsink & fan attached, warranty is gone

    ok, well I could only see that happening if I installed the CPU or HeatSink wrong. I don't overclock anything so I should be ok. :)
