The Bad: This system does not support more than 3.2 gb of RAM, regardless of the operating system (the motherboard is crippled )).

Can you pull the q6600 out and swap a cheap c2d in?
I want to buy this deal, keep the monitor, sell the q600 for $200, and buy a cheap c2d in and give the computer to my gf.
I figured it'd be $700 for this deal and a c2d, sell the q600 for $200... so it'd cost me about $500 to get a 24" monitor and a pretty decent computer for the gf
