A short while back now I wrote a popular series about hardware upgrading – specifically, about rebuilding my gaming rig into an Intel i7/X58 based machine to take advantage of the new technologies available to us consumers. (To see that series, click here.)

The other day I noticed a good price on an X58 motherboard on the “B stock” page at EVGA. EVGA is my company of choice for nVIDIA based graphics cards and mobo’s.
(X58 is already B-stock.. wow. I know “Moore’s Law“ tells us that tech is ‘growing’ at an exponential rate [evolving is a better word] but this is ridiculous. I think time needs to slow down…)
