andou Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 They'll be available for retail orders July 23rd, and they are not expensive at all! The only concern is if we'll have good 965 boards by then, good like DFI, MSI, Epox, Foxconn, anybody but Intel and Asus. I totally agree with you about the concern of good boards by then from DFI. That's what I'm looking forward to... and holding out for. But at the same time I don't think that Intel and Asus are making less than good boards....

UncleDavid218 Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I've already got my Conroe build all planned out... DFI motherboard (whatever it may be) Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2x1GB OCZ Platinum PC6400 2x EVGA 7900GT CO Superclocks in SLI 600w OCZ GameXStream 2x 80GB Hitachi Deskstars RAID-0 NEC ND-3550A Zalman CNPS9500 Zalman VF900CUs Lian-Li PC-65B 20" Viewsonic VX2025WM As you can see I'm looking at the E6600... hoping to get 4GHz at best out of it. I'm keeping an eye on this thread. Of course my list is completely subject to change... It's all going to be completely new with the exception of video, I'm adding my 2 6600GTs to my s939 system and buying another 7900GT. This way I'll have two very fast systems.

Phsophate bond Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 So what is the price of this CPU gonna be? And will it use existing motherboards? I noticed the price of OCZ PC6400 DDR2 Platinum is not bad at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phsophate bond Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Yeah the 6600 does look like the hot one with the 4 MB L2 cache. So I just checked, these must use Socket T (LGA 775) then? There doesn't seem to be that big of a selection when I scanned Newegg for mobos with DDR2 800 and up. On top of that DFI only has one mobo. But seriously I can only imagine that 6600 would be rediculous....lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleDavid218 Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 DFI will jump on the Core 2 Duo bandwagon... they're too smart not to. I'm only 16 so DDR800 or DDR1000 RAM is way out of reach for me. I have no problems using dividers, lol. Especially when it means saving $200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I thought that PC6400 OCZ memory you planned on using was DDR2 800. Actually 2 GB of that is only $200 so it seems reasonable enough. Of course I've never overclocked any of this stuff so I really don't know the difference. However it seems PC6400 is the DDR2 equivalent of PC3200 DDR.

UncleDavid218 Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Err... I wasn't paying attention (surprise, surprise) lol I meant DDR1000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
