So - whats your FPS on the new Black Death track?

That was why I went for the 2500k, spending the extra for a feature that I'd never use AND would cause issues in getting a good OC didn't make a lot of sense (though I was tempted for the reasons you give). The extra cache doesn't make any difference either according to benchmarks. The onboard graphics are a waste too, don't know what Intel were thinking of with that.
