It's all foreign to me now, I'm getting out of touch with it

That should shift, just a bit. Being a non-overclocker, I'm not sure what sort of overclocking potential the E6600 has, but generally you can clock the crap out of C2D chips.

Some good number crunching powah for sure. What graphics you throwing at it?

Mark · 22-01-2007, 23:03

Well, the board appears to support Crossfire, so that opens up some options.

just got a XFX 7900GTS

Mark · 22-01-2007, 23:38

Which, of course, is the wrong brand for Crossfire.

Do Intel SLI motherboards exist?

8 I3ALL · 23-01-2007, 01:01

Are you going to be trying to overclock? If so you might want to get a good CPU cooler, a Tuniq Tower or Scythe Ninja come highly recommended. In theory if you have a good chip and cooler you should be able to reach 3.6ghz without running the Ram out of specification (9x400mhz, being the multiplier of the CPU x Ram actual speed).
