Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

Mindless1, thanks for the reply. I will definitely uninstall diskkeeper, maybe wipe and redo the whole system as I finally purchased a Q6600. Would u recommend a bios upgrade to v16 beta1 as others have been using for the Q6600? Might you also explain why you think write caching might...

Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

First, why wipe it THEN delete partition THEN move it? Just curious, was this some super secretive data store? If not it's odd you didn't just install the drive, format it and be done. Why a dynamic disc? Don't do advanced things like a dynamic volume and blame the board (yet), do the...

Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

hello, I have been running a IP35-E for a couple of weeks w/a E2140 and a Big Typhoon as well as the recommended Kingston memory from the first page of this post. I am currently running at stock speeds b/c of the problem I am having. Beyond the system drive (WD740 Raptor 70gb) drive, I...

Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

hokiealumnus, thanks again for the reply. so, the e8400 is fast, but even w/it at 4.0ghz, how much faster is it than a similar E6750 at 3.6ghz--w/the same 8800GT vid card for most games? basically, if it's only a few percent faster, and since most games are graphics card limited, not cpu...

Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

hokiealumnus, thanks for the detailed reply. Ok, so I want to shoot for about 3.6ghz on a E6750 (saving about $85 over a E6850), and I would be targeting a FSB of 450mhz to match the 1:1 FSB to Memory ratio, correct? Now, the one factor I need to consider is if the more expensive memory...

Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

hokiealum... these are similar modules from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820231122 they are $90 vs $115 per 4gb set, so if i got the cheaper memory, what processor might be a good fit? also, i read a bit in other motherboard/cpu posts that ppl found the CPUs...

Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

hello, I am considering running this board w/ Vista 64-bit premium and 8GB of memory and was wondering if anyone has identified memory modules that run well on this board and similarly a Intel CPU w/a multiplier that would more closely match the timings and speed of 4 sticks of 2GB memory...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

Have a ASRock mobo flashed to 1.80 via windows flash, running a E2140 w/a BSEL mod. Currently I have 2x 1GB Kingston Value RAM sticks that will pass Memtest on 20 passes each of test #5. However, when both sticks are installed, I start getting errors when running test #5. Has anyone else...

Mobo for C2D w/8800GT SLI ?

Yep, I got lucky w/the pricing on that 8800GT, no doubt. aka1nas, thanks for the reply, that is excellent info considering you have a setup similar to the one i would consider. If your setup isn't fast enough to run everything at 19x12, then I doubt I would be happy trying to run SLI as well...

Mobo for C2D w/8800GT SLI ?

yep, preliminary research indicated that a 650i or 680i mobo is the best bet--but there are plenty of problems or issues when running that chipset--the Asus P5 mobo being the best bet, I guess. So, the real question is can I live w/a single 8800GT on a P35 mobo? That card seems to run...
