What's the point of Cat6 if it only does 1gig like Cat5e?

I just looked and Monoprice does not sell Cat6a cable. You would only need Cat6a cable if you are going to install 10Gb ethernet. I don't know of any motherboards that have 10Gb NICs and stand alone 10gb RJ45 NIC cards are over $500. To the original posters question - What's the point of...

Asus support

I posted this because it seems to me Asus puts a premium on their motherboards compared to other manufacturers. Sometimes I will pay a premium for a one brand over another when I know that brand has good products and good support. Asus, for me, is no longer a brand I will pay a premium for.

Asus support

Corsair 4GB Twin2X4096-6400C5 DDR2 800 $59.99 AR @ Microcenter

I have this Ram, the c5 version version 2gb sticks. It works great at specs at 1.8V. It will not overclock at all, regardless of voltage. Corsair has made this Ram with different memory modules. Some do overclock, but others like mine do not.

MSI P6N-SLI no post no nothing

Can you test the C2D 4500 on another board and verify it works? If CPU works on another board, then it sounds to me like the MB is defective.
