Question about a C2E QX6700 on ASrock 4CoreDual-SATA2 mainboard

Anyone ever try this combo?

I'd really like to know if the boards BIOS does support the unlocked multiplier.

Their website shows the QX6700 is supported.

I got this board so I can hold onto my Radeon X1950 Pro AGP card until the next gen of video cards and when I have money to drop. Then I'm dumping this board like a log for a new mobo, PSU, and video card.

And before you all wonder if I'm nuts to drop a ~700 chip into a budget board, I'm getting the chip thru Intel Retail Edge, for 200. Which actually makes it cheaper/as cheap as a Core2 Quad Q6600. I figured I might as well go with the unlocked multiplier and the slightly higher clock.

I want quad core more than anything, because I multitask heavily. :3 I'm guessing this will completely stomp my Pentium4 into the ground hm?

Yes. Your Pentium 4 will do nothing but sob in a corner for days, then start to refuse food and go in to a coma. There's no hope for it.

Hahaha!

I'm not gonna neglect the ol' gal though. It'll become a second workstation.

My P4 has given me years of very fast, reliable service.
