Which seems a bit incongruous at first blush since per Asus website the A8V-E SE does support dual core and both boards use the same VIA K8T890 chipset but I guess there's some other stumbling block. Been a busy boy as of late building systems for others. Now it's my turn and I've got a couple of the A8V-E SE's on order;-) Can't wait! Might be a mistake but I decided to forgo the dual core for now in favor of a 3700+ -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
