New Processors!

We've got good news! Intel's latest round of processors have proven worthy, and we are once again pleased to announce that the Ion and Reactor are now a little more powerful for no extra cost. The Ion's CPU options are now:

1. E7300 overclocked to about 3.2GHz
2. E8400 overclocked to about 3.7GHz
3. Q6600 overclocked to about 3.2GHz
4. Q9400 overclocked to about 3.4GHz

You might notice that the Q6600 is the last 65nm processor we still offer. It's still an amazing chip, and probably deserves an award from the overclocking community. If you recall, it won out over what should have been its successor, the fairly unimpressive Q9300. We expect it to maintain its position in the Ion options list until the price drops on the Q9400 in a month or so.

Meanwhile, the Reactor now offers the following line-up:

1. E8500 overclocked to about 3.8GHz
2. E8600 overclocked to about 4.0GHz
3. Q9550 overclocked to about 3.4GHz
4. Q9650 overclocked to about 3.6GHz
5. QX9650 overclocked to about 4.0GHz

That's a pretty nice spread - the price differences follow a fairly logical pattern, offering a little something for every budget.
