Your best buy would be either a Q6600 or Q6700 but I had a hard time finding them at a fair price on line. Looks like retailers who have them are charging a premiun since they are discontinued.

I've been using it on my daughter's netbook and one of my spare's for a while now. It's good but slow scans.

10.0.648.201 here....just updated when I logged on.

I'm using Chrome here and the pages load fine for me.

I'm very happy so far with my Intel SSD, cut my boot time in half.

OK, thanks. I've played with the multiplier in order to get the RAM higher but keep the CPU speed where I want it. I think I'll just leave it alone for now and see how the temps do. Like I said, I don't think I've ever had the CPU loaded at 100% for any length of time except in stress tests so I'm n...

Kind of new at this...so can you clarify as to "going a little higher on the frequency". I know I have BCLK at 169 and the multiplier (set at 22 now), which setting are you referring to?

A little high on the CPU temps. I like to target 65ish max but safely I can say 70-72. I have a Hyper 212+ cooler with Arctic Silver on it, I'm hoping I'm OK for now because I don't often hit 100% CPU for any extended period of time. The 91C I saw was momentary, for the most part it was in the high...

OK, have V-Core set to 1.264v and QPI / DRAM at 1.293v. Going to run some stress tests and see how it works out.
Currently I'm at 31C-34C idle, CPU stress tests put me at 91C max and RAM stress test I see the CPU at the mid 80's. How does this look temp wise to you guys?

I just checked and I see my QPI / DRAM voltage is 1.375 and is highlighted in hot pink in BIOS. Is this an acceptable number or is it too high? EDIT: I just googled it to learn more and I'm seeing some posts saying it should always be within .03v of CPU voltage. Is this true? Just lowered mine to 1....

Thanks DragonFury. My big concern was the voltage on the cpu. So it sounds like I'm on the low end for the OC I'm running so I should be ok.

is it stable at that low voltage? Seems to be stable, blue screened once during stress test with the dram voltage at 1.24v so I upped it to 1.5v and loosened the settings a bit, hasn't crashed since (specs for ram at full speed at 1.65v). Again, I'm pretty new with this board, I wasn't sure if that...

I'm still learning to play around with this board, but here's what I've got so far:
V-Core is set at 1.275 , QPI is 5.976 GT/s Ram is underclocked at 1328 mhz @ 1.5v Temps seem ok, idles at 30C. Am I doing it right?

XMS here as well. Never had any trouble with it.

In the past my experience has been if you call the toll free number they will activate it over the phone but it's a risk you take.

From XP to W7 you will need to do a clean install. There are lots of work arounds you can read about on line regarding how to do a clean install from an upgrade disc. Just google it. I don't think I can post the link here, it may violate the rules of the board. I know when I got W7 Home Premium, it ...

Pretty sure you'll need separate copies or you'll have to buy a product key for the second install. Might want to look in an upgrade family pack (3 licenses).

Didn't quite work, let me try that again.
