Intel Duo Vs. Intel Quad

[Poizen22]

there basically the same board, the abit took alot of teh features teh maximus formula has, liek the onboard power switch and a cmoss recet button. but the maximus formula has the supreme fx 2 soundcard which is amazing, all my games preset sound frequency to high now.

Well, if he wants to save more money, he could just go with the GA-P35 DS3L

quick question.
when switching from c2d to c2q, is a cmos or cpu format necessary?

 

[Poizen22]

i do recomend a reformat as windows wont read the 4 cores. when i switched from my amd4000+ to my q6600 it didnt read teh 4 cores, only one.

I went from a e6600 to my q6600 on my ds3r board and everything read correct. So no, you dont have to reinstall anything. Also, the maximus is crazy expensive.

Q6600 FTW. Hehe, reason why is because its the best price/performance CPU there is available.

UPS usually shows up at like 5:45 around my place.

Ye, they deliver their business packages first, then do pickups at around 3:00 PM then start delivering residential packages at 5:00 PM which is the time they get done doing business pickups. Unless of course the driver doesn't deliver any packages to business areas but thats only 20% of the UPS drivers.
