Im sorry but I completly disagree with you. EPP does make a tremendous difference ESPECIALLY in increasing your overclocking abilities. Believe what you want I have no time to argue.

1.) Don't get a motherboard until the nForce 570 and 590 boards come out. Right now you will be paying $250 for a board that should cost $100. The 570 and 590 boards will be $150-$200 and should be out soon enough. 2.) If you go with an nForce 590 based motherboard you want RAM with EPP as...

Yea considering it overclocked that much and performed better then a X2 4600+ sometimes better then a X2 5000+ and even sometimes better then the FX-62. Considering the price thats a hell of a performance/price. I'd be interested in how well they can get it to perform on more serious OC...

I think this will be VERY interesting for everyone here who is on a budget and can only afford an E6400 instead of the E6600 &E6700. Even though the E6400 lacks the 4MB cache and has a lower processor speed just look how it stacks up against it's bigger brothers and the AMD chips...

Wow you can overclocked a 4200+ to 4600+ speeds and still get less performance then a non-clocked Conroe. So we have voided our warrenty on the chip to get less performance then we would get if we just bought a Conroe and didn't even overclock it and keeping our warrenty. Good call! :rolleyes:

Ditto. The e6600 is a much better performer in all respects then any of the X2 lines and hangs and for the most part beats the top of the line AMD's. E6600 gets the vote for now. If they drop the price of there FX series to compete with the E6600 and E6700 then it's time to consider the AMD...

Um I'm no fanboy. Is there such thing as being an Intel fanboy? I've never meet one. Seems like everyone always hates on the big guy and likes the underdog better. maybe intel should just suck for the next 20 years and get close to backrupt and then come out with something good. People...

It's ok to like AMD but realize that Intel has always been the leader in new technology way before AMD ever existed. Loyalty to a company that charges 1k for a processor that performs like ass compared to todays standards!?!? Just remember they are all big companies. Do you think they care...

Look for the same model but has an SE at the ending. That board does not support conroe and a bios update will not fix it. The SE is hardmodded to allow the conroe to work. It looks identical to the board you posted but is not the same. As I said the socket was modified to support conroe in...

34erd is correct. First that board is not worth the money. Second it can be found cheaper then it costs at newegg. I've see it for $160-$180. Third it is not based on the Nforce 570 or 590 chipset. It is based on the Nforce 4 chipset. the new AMD boards are already suing the 570 and 590...

Just a heads up...there are viruses out there that will cause this. Also a memory leak will cause CPU usage to stay at 100%. Firefox has memory leak issues (and still does just to a lesser degree now). Not saying thats your problem but a heads up for you. Search "svchost.exe+100% CPU...

Damn I'm not sure. I've been using the beta versions since the beginning but I haven't been pricing it. Probably because I haven't bought an OS since windows 95. I would guess it will be expensive.

The fact is the X2 series, and all AMD processors, are to highly priced for what they offer right now. The Intel Core 2 Duo systems are performing much better for the same money. If AMD wants to compete they need to drop the prices on there current parts and bring out faster parts to replace...

Your gonna spend $260 bucks on a board that is still based on intels north bridge/south bridge chipset and limit yourself to only running crossfire when if you WAIT you will be able to get a board for the same amount of money if not less that will support SLI (Regular & Quad) and Crossfile...

The Core 2 Duo is better because it was designed and engineered better. If you take some computer engineering classes you'd probably be able to understand. But as I assume you have not I will not go into details of how they achieve a faster more efficient CPU because in all honesty it will be...

for 75+ you can get a good 500watt modular SLi certified PSU.

LOL no black cases shouldn't make the system hotter unless they are out in the sun...and that would be a whole other problem. As for the video card. I'd stay away from factory overclocked units. That XFX card is factory overclocked and well they suck at it. Almost every card that comes...

Not the one I'm talking about and it's that board is an intel chipset. The board I'm talking about can be seen here along with the asus board that is coming out VERY soon...http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72861. There in the first post and there is alot of discussion about it...

Yes but Lian-Li comes at a price. My other favorite brand would be Silverstone. Both have some of the best interior designs IMO. As Bobo stated, it's not all about numbers. Benchmarks are what is important. This seems to be a problem in the computer world as far as the general public is...

Well without going around and getting exact prices.... The 7950 will run you about $550 The Core 2 E6600 is about $350 With your RAM you first said 2x1GB sticks and then later said 1x2GB stick. If you want 8GB's your going to need 1x2GB stick. That will run you about $200 for the cheapest...
