Nice

Finally got my system up and running today, am posting from it now

The Good : Windows 7 dealt really well with the change, only requiring a re-activation, despite having a whole new MB and CPU setup.
The Bad : I now have a spare i7 2.8Ghz processor, because of the Ugly.
The Ugly : ASUS put the power supply for the CPU on an opposite corner of the board to the power supply to the MB, the socket for the CPU power is still there, but it doesn't power the CPU. This was why I thought the old processor had died when, in fact, the power was plugged into the wrong socket...
