    Ahh ok, free is no problem then : o) If possible you could get the Optie, you may just want to get that and then sell the two CPU's you have. The Opti will no doubt overclock past 3.0GHz with good cooling, and then in the future you could try getting the G. Skill after you get the cash or do...

    **** extra cache, that's all I can say. It certainly doesn't justify your $150 purchase. I'd try the Venice again and see if you have better luck overclocking. Those are rather low EVEREST scores for that speed.. I had nearer 31 latency and over 7,500MB/s read at those rates.

    NZXT Lexa

    If you have never heard of NZXT, you don't know what great cases you are missing! We are taking a look at their Lexa case, which combines "Perfect Symmetry" with class and functionality. Let's check it out and see if we have a winner on our hands. Sorry about the disorder of the pictures in the...

    Jesus, I'd be happy with 2.77GHz. Chances are that could be the max you will crank out of that chip, but chances are greater you could go even higher with your Venice. So, if that's a stable OC, then you are fine and dandy. What are your new Sandra/EVEREST scores? If an OC is possible with...

    Ugh, if you had a Venice 3200+ before, you shouldn't have upgraded anything personally, beacuse imo it can't really be considered an upgrade when you look at the overclocking possibilities. At any rate, things are looking good so far. What is your VDIMM at? If it's not as high as 3.0, try that...

    Logitech MX3000 Cordless Desktop

    I'll mention to Logitech about the poor reception, because apparently I was not the only one with any problems. Since I switched bases (Luckily most Logitech bases will work with most Logitech products), I have not had any issues whatsoever.

    That's not even default speeds, hehe. What are your VDIMM settings at? Are you able to download SANDRA and run the memory bandwidth benchmark and send just post your results? Also, what are your memory timings?

    No doubt. I can only picture a strip club in Arkanas.

    First M2 board!

    Bah, the pictures tell everything. It looks like they are calling it M2 instead of that gay AM2, which is good. There's 940 pins there as expected also. That bracket really has be curious though, it's different.

    Ultra Aluminus

    Ultra has recently released a new case called the Aluminus. It's quite similar in design to their Wizard case, but it's been amped up in every single way. This is not just a normal case anymore, they have pulled out all the stops. Let's see how great Ultra can impress us this time! Discuss the...

    CD Rom + Zip Problem!

    No problem. I've been there ;)

    CD Rom + Zip Problem!

    This is likely a Master/Slave issue. If the Zip drive and CD-Rom are on the same cable, make sure that the jumper on one is for Master, and the jumper on the other is for Slave.

    Xbox 360 Controller for Windows

    It doesn't make sense to me.. Microsoft has the money to 'gamble' on a wireless controller for the PC. People are asking for it, I have no idea why they are not hurrying up.

    Yeah I don't recommend Kingston. Yeah, can't really go wrong with the Super Talent and Optie. That will give you 2.5GHz cpu at 1:1 right off the bat. You shouldn't really have too much of a problem with that setup. You can always post in the forums here for advice in overclocking both :)

    You currently HAVE 4*512? It may not be a huge upgrade, unless the Super Talent you want is DDR500. Either way, if you are only using 1GB right now, you can't go wrong with 2GB of any brand, really.
