I've been flitting back and forth trying to determine when I should test my new CPU, but as this week goes on, it doesn't seem like a convenient time, and to be honest, I'm now looking at getting a new case for my new setup as well, seeing as I can have more control over things, so that's another delay, but equally, I have made sure that there's not exactly an urgency to install my new (to me) CPU anyway, so I'll install it on my own time, and announce when I've finally done it, and the results I got from it.
This also gives me a chance to test my system performance in its current configuration before I make any changes anyway!
