    Nearly identical to my new rig Lothar - and I am also suitably impressed.

    Nooice!

    I just bought:

    2500k
    Asrock Z68A-Extreme4-Gen3
    8GB Corsair DDR3-1600
    Crucial M4 128GB SSD
    Kept my 5870 from the old build (will upgrade it when ATI/nvidia release their new cards next year).

    Boot and load times are crazy with the SSD, usually into Windows in less than 20 seconds from a cold boot. Only issue is managing how much stuff I have installed on it, 128GB is a bit small after having a 1.2TB RAID 0 setup for the last few years.

    Hmmph. I just picked up another Commodore 64 and 1541 disk drive from the bus station, looks like I need to get with the times...

    But I do get 25fps with Boulderdash, BeachHead II and Bruce Lee.

    They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. Thats nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows
