    new intel cpu

    If this installation did fail, which is probably not going to happen, would it be a good backup plan to buy a cheap 45nm pentium e5800 so i can go from 2.5 to 3.2 and then possibly overclock like i did the e5200 a couple hundred mhz so I would have a 3.5ghz dual core.

    So if i end up going with a q6600 on my board there would be no limitations on it whatsoever? The guy at the computer store said that there was a possibility that the new cpu could be completely rejected. Or another possibility would be the bios would force an underclock.He said the q6600 cores...

    At the site http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/DX/DX4720/DX4720sp2.shtml it lists under ram ddr2 667/800 mhz SDRAM. Could i then in someway get ram running at 533mhz because i was told that it could only go up to a total speed of 800mhz because of the board or the ram itself. So by no problem do...

    My current Pentium e5200 is 45nm so yes. My current power supply is 650 watts.

    new intel cpu

    The only way that I have been able to overclock has been nvidias ntune. I made my dual core pentium from 2.5 to 2.8. The fsb went from 800 to about 900. I think i will go for the q6600. Its just that they have the Q8300 2.5 with a 1333 fsb and I was wondering if that would be worth it as it is...

    Would a gateway bios which is locked automatically lower the speed of the ram by changing the ratio on its own? Also, despite having slower ram i definitely would benefit from having the 1066 or 1333 fsb?

    I currently own a Gateway 4720-03. It has a MS-7399 motherboard. Looking up the specs, it has a lga 775 socket need for a core 2 quad upgrade from my current dual core. It also supports fsb speeds up to 1333. I was thinking of upgrading my pentium dual core to a q6600,q6700, or q8400. My worry...

    ati radeon 6850

    I am going to be upgrading from a gts 250 1gb ddr3 by Nvidia to a Radeon 6850 ddr5. Since my motherboard supports ddr3 memory I would assume that there would be no problem with running ddr5 on my pci express 1.1 slot and that 2.0 is backwards compatible. I was considering an Nvidia gtx 460 as...
