AB9 Pro Front Panel Audio Question

Based on the way the user's manual reads, it seems to imply that if I connect the front panel audio, I disable the rear audio jacks. Is this the case?

E6600 has errors with Prime95?

I fixed it. Dam SPD with memory. The corsair ram i got had timings of 5-5-5-12... but for some reason the bios was getting 5-5-5-15 by SPD, so I lowered that. Also the BIOS detected FSB speed as a few MHz faster than the published specs (I think like 5 MHz). I doubt that was the problem, but...

E6600 has errors with Prime95?

So my E6600 has been working great. Today before I left for work I turned on Prime 95 to do the torture test. However, after about 2 and a half hours it errored out with a rounding problem. I think it expected a number less than 4, and got 4.9999953293 or something like that. I've just run 5...

Question about Core 2 Duo heat sinks

So the wires for the fan come wrapped around the heatsink. Should I unwrap them before using this beast? Right now they appear to be held to the heatsink with black clips on each side. I wasn't sure if they are supposed to stay wrapped up like this, or if they need to be unwrapped? I also...

E6600's in stock at ZZF

I've written a bunch of perl scripts that have been spidering every site on froogle selling e6600s. It's been hitting each site in turn, continually looking for signs that something was in stock and then it'd send me and some other people SMS messages alerting of the status. Much better than...

Conroes on the cheap

I already called. Basically to get the discount you have to order at least 200.00. However they don't bill you for the conroes until they are actually in stock. So you technically haven't purchased the 200.00 to use the coupon. We'll have to wait till they're in stock.

The funny thing about newegg and the core 2 duos

I'm at Dulles International Airport right now. I was flipping through the current issue of computer shopper magazine, and new egg has a full page ad with core 2 duo's on it. The price for the E6600? 369 or 359, I forget which. However, it shows that they *intended* to sell it for less than...
