i oced by q6600 to 3.4ghz with thermalright extreme120 and 120mm fan. i eventually pushed it to 3.5xghz and it was stable even during game play but I lowered it to 3.0ghz because i didn't want the cpu to see such high voltage. but knowing i can push 1ghz higher than the stock rating with only $80 investment is awesome.

The new E8400 Core 2 duo's were released today. These run at 3GHz and have 6MB of L2 cache.
The biggest thing with the new chips is that they're featuring 45nm technology. They're more efficient, so they're cooler burning, which is less of a power draw.
I'm gawking at the Q9450 ... an Intel Core 2 Quad, 45nm, 2.66Ghz, 12mb of L2. I found a presale for $340 (ships in late Feb, early March) and I'm really tempted.
Quad = overkill? Awesome? Thoughts?
(ps: i'm saying :fawk: to the budget when it comes to the CPU.)

I was browsing around Fry's today. It's hard to find a full ATX board that has good specs and an integrated video card.
I'm not a gamer and I'll be using this on a 37in LCD. : \
Uber noober here.
What devices (besides video cards) use pci-e
Asus is "the best" correct? From what I've seen, their stuff runs the most $. : \

you increase the bus speed.
200 x 5 = 1000 or 1GHZ
233 x 5 = 1165 or 1.165GHZ
with intel processors the clock multipliers are locked so you can only increase the bus speed. except their extreme processors which does not have a locked multiplier.
