Might be cheaper to buy a board with 4 slots.Sometimes you can catch them on sale at newegg for 50 bucks a 4gb stick.

There are plenty of 775 boards that don't support any cpu's beyond a pentium 4.I would think for testing you would want a modern 775 board that supports newer dual core cpu's also.

I am not sure about your board but most older ddr motherboards don't support 4gb of ram.If this is for 2 systems then never mind.

Looks like a great deal! Bump

I have too agree.the locked multi just doesn't make me happy.Gone are the days when you could overclock any chip.

Intel speedstep.It lowers the voltage until the cpu is loaded.

Sticking them in the freezer sometimes can help make them easier too take off.

That's funny because a lot of sandy bridge owners use too own 1366. Worth it?For most gamers no,but everyone likes the overclocking performance. It's when your computer can't do what you want it too,when it becomes worth it.

I think the DFI p45-ion-t2a2 was a notably exceptional motherboard.Any computer geek would love too have that one.

I think a gtx 460 would probably be a great choice.Certainly is no need too spend more than a hundred bucks.

Ah that's too bad.Not really a big deal except for those who like too upgrade every year.

Yes it does sound ok but does it warrant a price increase when a 2600k owner is going too overclock anyway? The overclocking potential will be the deciding factor.

For as little as 25 bucks you can put a much more powerful cpu in that motherboard. But then again that can be said about a lot of things.

Spending the 200 bucks or so just wouldn't make sense today when a 2500k can be had for the same price.Even if you do have too swap your motherboard. A good p67 board can be had for under a hundred bucks now.

Considering the prices,I would go with the g skill memory.I personally would consider some cas 8 1600 myself.

A stock cpu cooler is fine,but make sure you have a good flow through air design.

I think a gtx 460,right around the 100 dollar mark is the best bang for the buck.

A lot of people have reported topping out at 4.9.

A great chip but just not as exciting as the unlocked versions.

If you really like too play with your hardware then an upgrade will keep you happy for a little while.

Move up too a 1920x1080,and then get a gtx 460.Could do that for around 2 bills.

I actually like the flat modular cables,they are great for routing behind the motherboard.

This can happen when another program is using resources in the background.Like maybe windows doing updates or something.

Boards can be very picky about memory.Sounds too me like an incompatibility issue.

I can't imagine the level of horror you must have experienced when you saw that.

I think if nvidia does get into making cpu's it will be for small portable devices.

Nah I don't think so.I would definitely try a different psu.Also It might be a good idea too remove the motherboard from the case and trying it too be sure it's not shorting out some where.

True,wow is heavily cpu dependant.Moving too a gts 250 would not be a big improvement.A quad core would probably bring better results ,but it would also have too be clocked at 3.0 or better. A good upgrade in the graphics department would be a 6870 or a gtx 560.

Those temps are good.I too would suggest keeping the overclocks the same.

Unfortunately a negative can be left for any reason.I wouldn't quit using it just because of 1 neg,especially when you remained in full contact and refunded their money.

Wow looks like the hole is a bit big.:).Usually an adapter can be found for something like this.

I too am interested in that case.I haven't seen one available for a while.

If there is a new bios out for your motherboard,I would consider updating it also.

That's right,I heard about that software about 6 months ago.It isn't around yet?

The second one you listed is a better psu,as far as reviews go.

Way too go.Now you can tweak em a bit and get them too really perform!

Both brands are great.It really does come too preference.I know mushkin has a great return policy and they are in colorado,how cool is that?

The only real noticeable difference would be when you run a benchmark.Maybe.

I would try and swap out the ram right off too see if that helps.Indeed it could be the hard drive also.

You can pick up another ddr2 4gb ram kit pretty cheaply.I would do that for now.
