T5500 isnt that a notebook processor?

I going to build a desktop

But the parts I've decided on are

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
2x EVGA 9800 gtx
Asus motherboard
4 gigs of ram

Yes it is. and it kicks the shit out of everything I hand it.

the Core 2 doesn't really have a mobile equivalent. the processor is that efficient that knocking its teeth out doesn't make it use enough less electricity to bother doing so to put it into a laptop. Its really just a form factor + lower clockrate issue.
