4 x 128 mb sticks of 184 pin ddr-400 trancend OE for labeled for mack g-series computer . usable in any machine that uses ddr-400 184 pin . single sided inferion chips . would take a cheap stick of ddr-2 for even trade . i bought these sticks to test dual channel mb's. so they haven't...

these dfi mb can be very fickle about psu's . on my infinity 975x some of the expensive 600w psu's gave problems. hard boot ups. crashes-ect. but on a lark installed a chepo 500w roswill and the damned thing ran fine . go figure! the problem is with the v-dimm undervolting on start up most...

it would be nice to see a cheap over clocking celery--with enough beans to do some serious games and what not-- i wonder how well they would do down @ 45nm? who was that that said we would never see inexpensive Q-cores ? there on the horizion too--:eek: :cool:

i can't wait to try one in my asus striker extreame gold plated edition !!!:eek: :D

i would go with a 965p motherboard like the gigabyte, asus or biostar with the e4300 because the 965's have much more mature bios . there seems to be some bios issues with the 650 series with the e-4300's--although the nf-650s will get full support for the e-4300 series after a bios update or...

you could try the old "boot with a 1.8v stick of ram --set the v-dimm to 2.1v--power down--swap in the 2.1v ram sticks trick on it" --rather than shit canning everything and starting over--:eek:

i've built a number of ultras--some were super PITA about psu's . just because you tried a new psu with enough amps/watts isn't a sure thing with the dfi's. i also had one that the bios chip died in--just before the bios chip conked out the mb was having a hard time starting up . you...

i would go with the e-6600 or other core 2 solution.:eek: :cool:

i would go with the ds-3 . the biostar t-force may be a good mb as well. --the best mb is usually the least expensive one that can do everything you need it to.:cool:

this mb is a 65o chip set with the older 570 stuff thrown in to get the 16x-16x sli . it might be a good mb--sort of fits in between the regular 8x-650 and the expensive 680i .:cool:

i am running this mb along with a e-6400 and 2 gig of samsung ddr-400 . it is a pretty nice mb for the $$$. the ddr-400 runs very well--about like ddr-2-667 run with some tight settings . i may even try the e-4400 in it in a month or two. it's stable when set up proper. my only gripes about this...

i have one of these i got of the egg open box for $26 shipped . it's a decent mb. it can over clock a little but runs out of steam around 300fsb with a core 2. it is a little tweeky if over clocking . it is the ideal mb if your going to run ddr-400 with a agp card . it is also OK with "most"...

for the money a ds-3 or s-3 in 965p are about tops-- the biostar t-force 965pt could be a good mb as well but i haven't built one yet . i bought a s-3 months back --when they were cheeper than the ds-3 series . for overclocking it has been a great mb--esp for the $116 price i got it for...

well if you get a via 775 lga core 2 motherboard . you can run a core 2 6000 series or e-4300 and use regular 184 pin ddr 400. which would have an additional savings --no expensive ddr2 ram required. i would think this is a option if you have 2x512 of ddr-400 or 2x1g ddr-400 layng around ...

i think whats going on is that the e-4300's are tossed off the same fabrication as the other core-2;s but what happens is that the marginal and over production chips end up being converted over to e-4300. so you get a few good cores that were from 6300's and 6400's but you also get some...
