so i went ahead and installed my new chip today.

qx6800ug7.jpg


is this normal? why is Multi set to x6, when i set it to x11 in BIOS? other then that... i don't really do any video editing, but i do see a noticeable difference in speed between this, and my previous e6600.

system spec:
evga 680i mobo (i might change it to d975xbx2 which is still in the box)
qx6800
2gb xms2
7900gs (this one needs an upgrade)

ran the 3dmark06. forgot the actual number, but the cpu score was above 4000. does this sound about right? i don't usually run any benchmark applications.
 
It does this to save energy when you're not using the CPU. It will go into full speed when you are running an application or a game.

i was at the community day at SanFran last night. EA sponsored an event. all guests received the chip, 975Xbx2 mobo, and Vista ultimate for free. nvidia was there too, and was spouse to supply us with 8800's, but they said they didn't have any. so instead of gfx cads, nvidia gave us... stickers, coasters, and a huge poster. :rolleyes:

intel rep said, the chip will be available next month.
