Check your memory because im pretty sure the memory you have now wont be compatible with the motherboard your going to get.
its DDR2 compatible which is what i have, not DDR3 which is what im sure you were thinking... thanks for the concern tho
thank you much, i rather think so too
its g0 revision... not stepping
are you suuuuure? i thought it was like... the G92 (like on video card chips) was a revision, and that G0 was a stepping? mebbe one of us is mixed up... i dunno :*
Essentially the q6600 and q6700 are the exact same chips. One was able to clock with a 10x multi when they were binning them and got stamped 6700. You will mostly end up with the exact same overclocks with either chip.
well, the Q6700 is going to drop from the current $527 MSRP to $270... and the Q6600 will drop from $270 to $229... so pretty much, by waiting like two weeks... i can get a higher stock clock speed and multiplier... for the exact same price as the Q6600 was... so while the difference is small... its still there... and by waiting, mebbe i can squeeze just a liiitle bit more outta a Q6700 and get a better build for the same price...
Asus = old and busted. Evga = the new hotness.
now i certainly dont know about that...
my understanding is that both the EVGA 680/750/780i or w/e family and pretty much most other X38/X48 motherboards, like ASUS's... both overclock exceptionally well... just that the EVGA/XFX boards' chipset is better for if youre going to be running SLI (which im prolly not: a GX2 later, instead) and Asus's X38s are better if youre going to run a single card and OC...
i still think ill go with my Asus board tho...
and also gentlemen, not to be rude but, if youre going to talk/argue about motherboards, may i suggest you start a new thread in the computer hardware sub-forum? id like to keep this thread about helping out with my upgrade... thanks
