Well if he cared about that he wouldn't be going for a V8.

And it's not even hard to install unless your mobo's already in your case.

If the Mugen 2 is a 'b****' to install, then you're doing it wrong.

edit: I voted for v8 because it looked cool.

I understand the difference between dual and quad...I'm still underwhelmed by my Dark Knight's performance.

He's running an AMD chip, he does not need the Dark Knight, he can save himself a couple dollars buying the vanilla s1283 that can be put towards a nice 120x38mm fan for it.

Intel users need to stop recommending the Dark Knight to AMD users.

People need to stop recommending the Dark Knight when the Mugen 2 is better and cheaper.

I highly recommend the V8, I just bought a V10 and it's freaking amazing.
