Nothing about Mobos is there, Haggis?

I seriously doubt anyone that would be sane enough to pay more for a motherboard than a processor.

What?

That's not really uncommon... More like Common.

The only ones there that are really worth getting after the price drop (because of the large drop) are the Q9550 and the E8500. Q9650 if I had the money.
