haha, go read my trouble thread. I am not gonna instal it until my 780i comes it seems. and considering I have not ordered that yet... hmm. I might not be running it until the end of NEXT week. sooo sad...

The Q9300 will most likely be FSB limited. I would expect at least 450-500fsb out of the chip though....around 3.4 to 3.8ghz

ya i think it was somewhere around 500fsb

the e8400 hit 600fsb

Good luck getting the nvidia chipset to run past 500mhz and not burn up.

haha, I sold my old one, so for right now, I am stuck with my 650i. I am not sure about 780i or p5e.... Still the debate rages on. two more days or so and I should know..

Ugh, the 650i i had while my 680i was down was a giant piece of crap. It wouldnt boot with anything over stock settings.
