    Have you looked at monitors by Eizo? Just curious since they're pricey, but I hear good things about them.

    The "Are the E6300 and E6400 called Conroe or Allendale?" thread

    Does it matter? We know the differences in the specs for the various C2Ds

    64bit any better?

    I believe I've seen benchmarks that indicate otherwise...let me dig up the article. EDIT: Found it... Here's the article: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core2duo-64bit_5.html Here's is the first page of benchmarks...

    Does this Seems right ?

    I'm no expert, but that temp does seem low for the amount you're loading the proc. My E6400 with stock hs/f idles at about 15 degrees higher than that according to my BIOS. If your temps are really that low I need to get that cooler. 2 Things: how hot is your room usually? and...

    Conroe bugs

    I believe the point is that data on your harddrive could become corrupted... Anyway, what if my system doesn't die can I still RMA the chip because I'm a scaredy cat? :D

    Conroe bugs

    Wow wasn't aware of that. The last line of the article kind of scares me: The exact description of AI39 from the pdf linked in the article is: According to the pdf they plan to fix it in a later stepping...fat lot of good it does us early adopters. :mad: I'd like to just dismiss it...

    Ghetto E6300 Core2Duo Sytem Upgrade From P4 2.53 with Benchies!

    Okay I'm currently typing this from my upgraded machine :D My 775Dual-VSTA got here yesterday and the E6400 showed today. Everything appears to be working flawlessly, both cores are detected in windows, and all my peripherals are functioning. I was a bit worried about hardware...

    Project: Watercooled Full ATX "Conroe" build in mATX Microfly, Unnamed

    Ah parking services.I believe they are the embodiment of pure evil. I could be wrong though....maybe :D Anyway, you say you didn't have to fool with your water cooling setup for 2 years? That is awesome! I think I may try to follow in yours and votey's footsteps.

    Project: Watercooled Full ATX "Conroe" build in mATX Microfly, Unnamed

    Excellent finish on your mod! I really like the aesthetics of SFF cases. Combine that with the functionality of a full ATX mobo and the reduced noise provided by water cooling and you have what I'd call a perfect setup. I like how your hand was in the photographs. Made me feel like I...

    Where or where have the 6600's gone

    Yea I'm doing almost exactly the same thing except I ordered an E6400 which will be here tomorrow :D . Question about the RAM though. MOBO specs for the ASRock says that the DDR2 standard is DDR2 667. I'm assuming you can still use DDR2 800 and it will scale down to a lower bus speed. I'm not...

    HELP! E6600 arrived, small bit of smoke and a loud pop!

    The Q-Pack is a small form factor case. One of the larger ones I think. Can be modded to fit a full ATX mobo.

    Dual core Pentium D 820, upgraded from Athlon xp 2600+

    I'm also kind of surprised. My current machine (soon to be replaced) is an AMD XP 2800+ (a 2Ghz proc). I built a small server for someone using a Pentium D 805, a $50 Gigabyte board, and 1 Gig (1stick) of G.SKILL RAM. Obviously modus operandi was "spend as little as possible." That said...
