Feasting on the flesh of a recently killed zombie probably wasn't the smartest of moves

P67: can overclock
- but do I really need to think about overclocking? Casual gamer, 1920x1080 monitor but I'm not a FPS twitcher so I can cope with 25-30fps

Overclocking is great to just get more performance out of a system if you intend to keep it for a while too.

I might skip upgrading my Q6600 system for another year because it still works so great.

I'm honestly curious to know what people are doing with so much RAM? What could you possible need that much for?

Virtual Machine lab environments, I have 8gb in mine and would love more.

This the first time I've heard of a mini-ITX gaming PC. Normally they're used for car stereos or silly "case mods" where they crammed the entire system into a football or something stupid likt that.

Cappucino PCs started out as being fairly popular in 2001 and then other manufacturers (Shuttle etc) moved on in 2002 or 2003 to introduce different barebone kits that allowed seperate graphics cards, it has been around for quite a while.

Although, to be honest, I can't quite keep mini-ITX vs. micro-ITX straight in my mind. I always have to double check what I'm talking about. I just want a small, non-flashy, quiet-ish case that won't dominate my life.
