thanks. nice avatar. C.J. rocks :P

As far as the RAM issue goes, I'd say he's right... it's probably labeled wrong.
He should run CPUZ and check the part# and serial# on the SPD tab and check it against the actual RAM specs. I bet he got a 1GB Kit...

Nev- what were you doing before your board died?

[Nevaziah]

nothing really. The pc was working great, then when I swaped the boards, showed the other one didnt work, i swapped back, and it refused to boot...

Edit: now both wont do nothing! rma'd to ncix.com. wish me luckz!!

Hey guys....currently I'm on BIOS 0401, and I'm wondering if I should update it to 0505. I was thinking maybe I can take my overclock further with the new BIOS.

[TuxeyM]

I heard someone say something about 0606...

I am on 0505 and got my E6600 to 3.2 on 1.34vcore, should I update?

[JCushing]

yeah i mentioned the new bios... i belive its 602... no one trying it yet?

[dpawl31]

I was told the 5 series was buggy, but I never had issues.


Nev, I may have missed something, but why were you putting in a new board anyway?

[The Pook]

I'm going to try it next weekend.
Won't be home all this weekend.
Out of state for collision repair for a 20K scholarship.
=O
Pook's good at something other than computers? No wai.

Yup... he finally got conformation that the ram should be double sided and the ones he got isn't... muck up in labeling... imagine how many n00bs are ignorant of how something like this can seriously screw them over
