I'm not too fussed about overclocking at this point, as its a great chip at stock speeds - I just want to get my rig finished on budget.

For me, spending around £800 for a PC means i have to make it last for at least 4 years otherwise its not justified

So hopefully the E6600 will be able to last that long.

The question is...Do i order the E6600 itself this evening or do i wait and see if the price drops slightly(is it possible?)

I probably will get another motherboard at a later stage, it all depends how good they are when they come out I suppose.

I wouldn't say they would come down much in price until a week or so before it comes out, but don't quote me on that.

Hmm, I would preorder if the money wasn't taken out right away. I'd be paying interest on the creddy card before I get the chip.

Before I hit order can someone confirm that the Core 2 DUO Extreme Edition X6800 should work with the Intel BadAxe D975XBX (REV 3.04)

I think I will just sit back and relax.

See which motherboards work best, which cpu gives the best bang for the buck etc. Wisdom comes with the years only

Good fast boards but the 975X are better clockers but do cost a lot more too.

HI there

My plan worked, plenty of free advertising for OcUK!

Extreme Edition sales are approaching double figures.

Is it worth buying Conroe Extreme Edition will I get a first batch one now if I order right now.
