Thanks , greatly appreciated.

Now after a couple of years with the stock Q6600 , I decided to give it a shot in overclocking Screenshot How am I doing? Any tips? *CPU-Z reads 1.288V <->1.296V on idle , *Idle temperatures 38 C <-> 40 C *Load temperatures 58 C <-> 60 C *Any voltage lesser than that , core 3 starts...

Hello First time to get into overclocking , i have Q6600 processor with asus maximus x38 , my target is 3.2 Ghz for a start. cooling with zalman 9700 fan here comes the noob question :o i ran prime95 and i had 1 error on the 4th core after 1 hour while other 3 cores ran fine till i...

I’m really confused what to choose , the logitech new G15 or Microsoft Sidewinder X6 . I already excluded some due to large size (G11 and old G15) My first priority is durability. I read some comments that logitech G15 keys get loose and Microsoft keyboards letters fade out early, if anyone...

Going 20" instead of 22" will decrease bleeding effects? It seems most 22" are TN , i don't mind the 2" if i can get a better panel at 20" , can anyone recommend one if they exist? Please no CRT or 19x10 LCDs unless you can send me a 9800GX2 :p Thanks in advance

I m just not sure if 9800GTX is worth +100$ over a 8800GTS... i hope some real benchmarks show up soon...unless the ones now is real , i think i ll just get the GTS. That buy.com offer +crysis looks good to me :p

After reading how things work 256 bit = 32 bytes 32 bytes * 2200 MHz = 70.4 GB/s you can go wrong with one info but not a typo with both 2200 and 256! or if 256 bit is the typo nearest to 128 GB/s is 448 bit but it doesn't sound right to me for a price of ~300$

Sorry if its a noob question Can memory bandwidth be doubled that easily with just higher clock speeds :confused: 8800GTS -- 62.1 GB/s http://www.evga.com/products/pdf/512-P3-N841-AR.pdf vs 9800GTX -- 128 GB/s http://www.evga.com/products/pdf/512-P3-N871-AR.pdf Thought it increases...

Since your considering an ASUS motherboard--> ASUS claims that most of its p35/x38 motherboards support 1600 fsb with bios updates, so if you get your 800 DDR2 MHz RAM x 2 Dual Channel = 1600 FSB you can make sure if you ever need to over clock , your RAM will handle the motherboard's max...

Not sure maybe one comes with a game and one doesn't like these 512-P3-N802-A1 , 512-P3-N802-AR Amazon 1 Amazon 2

Was wondering about E8400 and Intel Mobos like DX38BT we need a Q9450 list ... ps . firas should start one , once the processor is out :)

DDR3 not that bad as it used to be , high performance plat edition OCZ DDR3 - 1333 - 2 Gbs for 250$ compared to 70$ DDR2 - 800 , however you can go Intel DX38BT mobo for 230$ vs Asus X38 280$ this somehow makes the ram 250$ ddr3 vs 120$ ddr2... double price!

Surfing is fine , downloading ...i don't download but looks fine BUT online games = slide show :mad:
