Re: Intel Core2Duo ... anyone got one working yet?
OK, so a basic question.
You think it's best going for a P35 chipset, as opposed to an earlier one? This is all I really need to decide at this point, damn I hate computers.... |

Re: Intel Core2Duo ... anyone got one working yet?
Between the P35 and the 1066 Memory we saw a jump in raw available system DSP of around +20% percent which is nothing to sneeze at. Thats a pretty solid figure also
P35 is running well but not approved by Digi yet, they normally qualify most Intel chipsets so its more of a waiting gams. They HAVE qualified the P965 chipset which has been out for 2 years or so. Will you notice the 20% decrease in power by staying with P965? Probably not. The P35 has the advantage of being 1 generation newer and offering native support for the next generation CPU's coming from Intel in the next couple of months. They have a slightly better upgrade path. Both choices are good. From personal expirence I wouldn't build anything other than the P35 at this point. Building a P965 based board isn't the going to be like your shooting yourself in the foot The P5K E WiFi looks good to me. Whatever choice you make should please you with the amount of power you will have available.

Re: Intel Core2Duo ... anyone got one working yet?
That settles it then.
P5K E Wifi it is. 1066 a bit out of my already blown out budget. Thank you very much for all the help you have given me Sunburst Cheers! |

Re: Intel Core2Duo ... anyone got one working yet?
Ok the main System is this:
Asus P5K E Wifi M/B Intel Q6600 CPU G0 Stepping Memory - See below.. NVidia Quadro FX 1400 (I already have this) 320gb WD Sata2 16 meg cache partitioned, System/Drivers storage etc' 500gb WD Sata2 16 meg cache - A/V drive Some other Sata drives for various things ( I have already) Cooling Mods- Cpu Thermalright ultra 120 extreme heat sink x1 Noctua NF-S12-1200 Fan Vga Thermalright HRo3 Rev A - VGA cooler Coolink 921 92mm fan with fan controller Undecided about the Modem/Router going to leave it till later It's replacing a wired network, so no big deal for now. Memory, I'm a bit unsure about not buying 1066 now. But it's better for compatibility with the other machines to stick with 800 Here are my options. 4gb of this stuff http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/...1b84de1bc83c0) or I can stretch to 4gb of this stuff http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/...e334e1b5685751 Almost there thankfully |

as sunburst said there is noticeable performance improvement goin' to the 8500/1066 ram. i don't know the requirements for your softsynths but do realize with the power/juice you are gonna get from your new quad, cached and paged resources are goin' to have a MUCH different response when they are called again by your quad system with SATA drives. just somethin' else to consider... also sunburst, weren't there some back-to-back issues with the WD drives??? probably isolated but....

Mykhal C.
Thanks for the response. I am quite sure I have no idea what you mean. As far as WD Drives, I've used them for the last 5 or so few years now, never seen a single problem. |

Re: Intel Core2Duo ... anyone got one working yet?
I was putting a system w/ the nforce 680i but i haven't even had a chance to put it in cuz my friend bought it off from me for his gaming rig. I need a micro ATX board and i was woundering if anybody knew if the ASUS P5B-VM was working w/ PTLE?
