Might be cheaper to buy a board with 4 slots.Sometimes you can catch them on sale at newegg for 50 bucks a 4gb stick.

There are plenty of 775 boards that don't support any cpu's beyond a pentium 4.I would think for testing you would want a modern 775 board that supports newer dual core cpu's also.

I am not sure about your board but most older ddr motherboards don't support 4gb of ram.If this is for 2 systems then never mind.

Looks like a great deal! Bump

I have too agree.the locked multi just doesn't make me happy.Gone are the days when you could overclock any chip.

Intel speedstep.It lowers the voltage until the cpu is loaded.

Sticking them in the freezer sometimes can help make them easier too take off.

That's funny because a lot of sandy bridge owners use too own 1366. Worth it?For most gamers no,but everyone likes the overclocking performance. It's when your computer can't do what you want it too,when it becomes worth it.

I think the DFI p45-ion-t2a2 was a notably exceptional motherboard.Any computer geek would love too have that one.

I think a gtx 460 would probably be a great choice.Certainly is no need too spend more than a hundred bucks.

Ah that's too bad.Not really a big deal except for those who like too upgrade every year.

Yes it does sound ok but does it warrant a price increase when a 2600k owner is going too overclock anyway? The overclocking potential will be the deciding factor.

For as little as 25 bucks you can put a much more powerful cpu in that motherboard. But then again that can be said about a lot of things.

Spending the 200 bucks or so just wouldn't make sense today when a 2500k can be had for the same price.Even if you do have too swap your motherboard. A good p67 board can be had for under a hundred bucks now.

Considering the prices,I would go with the g skill memory.I personally would consider some cas 8 1600 myself.
