Yeah the only thing I'm concerned about switching from AMD to Intel processors is the slot names on mobos so that they're compatible; I had enough trouble figuring it out amongst AMDs various slots when I had to replace my last mobo(had an oooold slot that isn't supported anymore and like 5-8 slots had come out since then all with 3digit numbers besides the AM2 slots); interested in what Intel's slot-naming convention is and which ones're compatible with the Q6600 :p
