Because I am special and had to pay about $950 for it lol. Plus they told me I couldn't say what model it was as part of the agreement.

Also on the quad cores I like them but they had just came out when I built this tower, the speeds as far as GHZ did not impress me yet.

Plus I know how realable Pentiums are as well. Until the technologies on quads get better I won't upgrade them yet. but will try them as quads with hyper threading will make the system look like it has 16 cores =)

Good thing my MB supports new technologies shoot it better for the price.

good price! it's a relief to not have to scrap our existing PCs... i don't mind buying a new video card and even some ram, but a brand new machine? ouch!

anyhoo, i don't think you'll be disappointed - i know i'm not
