im gonna get a 9450

ehh, q6700 ftw if this is the case...

set it to 360fsb and whatever needed voltage may be and ur all set... no fsb worries... nothinnnn'.... i love my q6700.. oc'ing is much easier... and i have that much less on my shoulders to worry about (mobo restrictions)

think i may take this option....i got it at 400 x 8 with like 1.2875V right now on stress test.
i dont think this mobo will have any FSB issues, certainly not that low.

that would really leave me enough to buy a decent water kit anyways....

thanks guys.

water kit!! alright, another one for the club... watercooling seems to be the thing to do

i'm still having a hard time deciding ati or nvidia... its such a tough race... i think i may wait out for a good while this time around...

or until my brotherman wants to buy a computer... so he can buy my stuff now.. and i can buy new stuff and still have monies for myself lol

I wouldn't do it. Its not worth it.

^^i agree after some thought.^^
i decided to go with an e8400.
and with the money left over (from the sale of my other stuff), i bought some ocz 1066, so i wont have any problem running a 500+ fsb (i have to relax the timings on my sets to do that). if and when i need a quad-core...the 45nm high ends will be way cheaper (when nehalem comes out). as of right now, with careful consideration, i dont multitask enough to warrant spending more money. i just want sick overclocks and a gaming monster. a 4.2-4.5ghz oc would be stellar. and whoop this q6600 over the head.
