For one entire week, I removed my main build from my desk.  In it's place, I used an old Phenom X4 9650 paired with a GTX 680.  I wanted to see not so much the prowess of the GPU, but how the old Phenom still held up.  

I wonder if I should make a thread to basically, report my findings, or if I should just post it all here.  It's rather surprising and not surprising in many ways.
