looks good - only issue is getting an early mobo but it seems good enough (if a little expensive)

Thats what i thought a little expensive

At least you won't have to upgrade any time soon.

No one has to upgrade really, my 'old' x2 runs like sh** of a shovel for anything I play on it/use it for

But normally if you think it runs like poo then you would upgrade it, because otherwise you let all that anger build up then eventually throw your machine out of the window, which then also damages your neighbors car .. not that i have done that of course...

You do realise that people have been reporting simlar clocks with the Gigabyte boards, which have the newer 965p chipset and revised bios. They also have out of the box support for conroe.

That Asus board you have is the 975x chipset which is an adapted version of the old 975chipset used for Pentium D's.

Get the DS3 or the DS4 instead!

Monstermunch, realised you got similar specs in your sig to what i originally thought about getting what kind of stable overclock do you get the e6600 running at?

SOSAGES2 · 8 Aug 2006 at 17:55

Gigabyte GA965PDS4 seems good - im off to find some reviews i need to upgrade my p4 2.8 ive had since 2003

Should have my stuff in the next few days.... Just got bored and decided to do my new sig.

The DS3 and the DS4 are great clocking boards from all reviews and other stuff i've read. The DQ6 however is supposed to have a slightly different architecture and reportedly isn't a good clocker.
