Going from AMD to Core2?

[-Mike-]

Hi guys,

Can you explain all this strap stuff to me thats required in the core2 overclocking? Do any of you have any useful links to give me info on this? My friends just got a core2 e6600 and we're looking for the best way to overclock it.

Motherboard suggestions are welcomed also

Thank you

Which board would you suggest for around the £100 mark?

The DS4 is £104 incl vat and delivery which seems pretty good I will read some reviews to get a bit of background on this, but I assume with the big thread everyone on the boards has one at the minute?

DS3 or P5N - both good boards.

I'd never heard of that strap thing before. Pretty interesting and a very good idea.

Does it make a difference that the pcie slot is only 8x in the P5n?
