does this mean my 800mhz ram is only running at 667 lol?

you can probs overclock it to near enough 800

surely not on the locked up dell bios?

good news about the processor mate

 

[dtokez]

is there somewhere to look at the architecture of the chips? i cant anything in the product info on ocuk?

is 45nm a new format? and whats the size of say a e5200 dual?

thanks all

ok i think i will leave that then, its still running ok but the extra power would be nice for what i use it for.

its not my main rig lol, ive got a p5q pro with a e5200 @ 3.6
