I rebooted, loaded Prime95, CPU-Z and RealTemp and ran it for 10 minutes: I then stopped Prime95, ran Everest Ultimate, and again ran Prime95: I suppose I could just disable EIST, but that seems to me treating the symptom, not the cause. :confused:

I've used both Prime95, OCCT and Performance Test 6.1 running for about 10 minutes. Once I run Everest, I've run Prime95 for an hour without errors. It starts running at 3.6 GHz right away. I use CPU-Z 1.44.1 to measure the speed. Is there a more reliable way to measure?

Last week it was still $219 from Mwave. Glad I ordered it.

It's in the XPS600 docs. The Dell bios will support any Pentium D or Pentium 4 Extreme Edition up to 965. It won't support any Core 2 Duo processor. You can check out the Dell Community Forums for more info.

Gigabyte has several boards with 8 sata ports. I have the GA-EP36C-DS3R, although I'm currently using only 4 of them (2 HD's, DVDRW, front panel esata) Dave

Which bios are you using, F2 or the beta?
