Core 2 Duo (45nm) vs. Core 2 Quad (65nm)

I meant the 750i FTW, but there are 780i's are there too, but I don't recommend any of those because of the Video Corruption bug..

oooh I forgot one!! the 680i A1 (outdated though, and you can't use 45nm's on it natively [meaning it needs a BIOS Flash])

Doesnt the 750i FTW also have the video corruption?

Not from what Veedubfreak says

Does this mean they fixed it by updating the BIOS? Answer

I have the DFI Lanparty DK P35 chipset with a 6600 and it runs like a champ. If you're not looking to SLI I recommend that.

The Gigabyte Ep35 DS3l is a good motherboard if you do not need sli.

From what I have read the Abit IP35P is good up to 490mhz fsb so it should be a good overclocker. It is also a great price after mir.

p35's or x38's are the way to go when wanting to OC your quad.

why? why not nvidia chipset?

The corruption issue has been fixed from what i have read, and never cropped up on the 750i FTW board due to being a non reference board.

Some manufacturers released new BIOS which suppose to fix it.

But 750i SLI FTW didnt get fixed
