asus p5q mb with intel e6600 processer

[keeee691]

Hello

I have a brand new asus p5q mother board with an E6600 processer.

My problem is thats it is slow as molasses and freezez up. I have it with 4 MB ddr 2 memory.

I think the P5 q is ich10 stepping. While the processer is different like 9 or something.

I am bout ready to put the intel board back in the the pc.

What do you think?

ich10 is part of of the p45 chipset which is what the p5q has.

i'm not sure what you're talking about with the cpu though, a cpu doesn't have like a chipset of its own, which is what it sounds like you're saying.

here are your board's specs.

from the cpu support list, it says it support both the pentium e6600 and the c2d e6600 so it doesn't look like it's an incompatibility problem.

Hello

This would be your problem if it were only true

Please tell me, AdHoxile, what logic is that?

I do not think the CPU is the verdict. It could be your memory. Run Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Was merely making a witty remark on the ideological speed of 4 Mb vs. 4 Gb of memory

I think he is talking about the E6600's 9x multi

oh, well i'm still not sure.

when i read this

I think the P5 q is ich10 stepping. While the processer is different like 9 or something.

he mentioned "ich10" in the previous sentence, so i assumed he thought the cpu had "ich9" which doesn't make sense.
