The newer C2Ds still have plenty of life left in them.
Interesting as my #2 machine (the one am posting from) runs a Asrock Penryn1600SLI (740/650 SLI chipset). Found a Q9650 for little back in 2015 (replaced a e8500) been running since 2008.
Works well still ! The old Nvidia chipsets do have a long life !
Both of my EVGA 680i boards were bought brand new by me back in 07 and they have been great. They make a fast stable platform.
