Motherboard and Ram for E6400

Sorry, I never tried OC a X2 before and that's what I googled and see with people pointing out how much they can OC a X2... so maybe at 2.6 is along the line of how well a X2 can normally OC on air and that's with a pretty decent MB, or some MB under $100 can do so?

Motherboard and Ram for E6400

thanks Conroe for helping... I guess I may not need much OC, so the upper limit of a Asrock Dual at 300 FSB will be good enough for now... (at least there's no wonder board that does well on OC and costs less than $150) Now my concern like others is, do I need a Conroe? I just calculated...

so does that I mean I should cancel my order? Given the time they ship, Conroe's supply may be back to normal and the price will go back down a bit? What do you guys think?

Cool & Quiet, SSE3 and 64-bit Support

Hi Everyone: Just wonder which Sempron or Athlon 64 on Skt 754 has such features. I am tempted to buy either the Athlon 64 3000+ ECS MB combo at Frys for $100 or Sempron 3100+ with the same ECS MB for $80 and I wonder if these processors have any of those features mentioned. Thanks!
