Thank you for your insight and given other perspective.
But if a Chip is rejected by Intel/ARM due to an issue in the ALU or FPU, then can it be fixed?
I was watching an economy program on youtube and in which they discussed how Chinese companies buy rejected/discarded microchips at a negligible cost and repair them and use them in non-branded mobile phones.
In my little reading on the microchip fabrication process, I doubt that such a thing...
I have two computers at home and i have my brothers (two to be exact) in othe states... we share photos quite regularly and also other documents... So i am thinking of creating a small file serer which we all can share...
It doesn't need to be too fast cuz we won't be using it too...
Btw on wich platform Intel showed the Nehalem Demo in the IDF..? i think it was P35 chipset socket 775 board... thats wot i remember.. but i may be wrong.

The problem i am facing is that i have gathered these components over some time. I have bought MB and CPU now..
Now when...
I have also short listed this board for my Q6600... It seems to be based on the same platinum design minus Firewire and Digital Sound output and MSI P35 Platinum has got pretty impressive reviews not only from tech websites but also by the average user... I find MSI Platinum and MSI Neo2 FR...
actually i m about to buy this board for my Q6600, so I just want to ask from all of you who own this board...
1) Does it have any stability issues.?
2) What abt the 4Gig memory slow down issue... actually i have got 2 Gig and i m going to get 2 Gig more for the system from the day one.. so...
Why you have mentioned Gigabyte..? I will appreciate if you can give few reasons..
btw i have seen on this forum and also on newegg that ASUS P5N32-E SLI is not rated very highly..
Plus i find MSI P6N Platinum rated pretty decently... rather its has won customer award on newegg.. so i...
Previously i was thinking of a motherboard based on P35 chipset.. but now i have planned to buy another 7900GS (which r pretty cheap these days) and make an SLI rig...
So i have now changed my plans and thinking of getting a motherboard based on 650 SLi chipset..
So which motherboard is...
And wot About their BIOS updates.? do they really keep updating and enhancing their Motherboard BIOS over a sizeable timeperiod.?
Yea i think i will not go with combo but will get the simple DDR2 board...
Thanks for the detail response.
Any short comings in this board.? i m looking interested in this board... and what about the gigabyte as a company... i have mostly stayed with MSI or ASUS in the past...

2...
But i think the 946GZ chipset have 800Mhz FSB and i m not expecting much overclocking from it... i tried to look for the review of the chipset but haven't found one yet with core 2 duo. this is the reason the AMD platform look a little better.. but i m leaning towards buying Intel. i would have...
I am building a new system for programming and coding purpose. will be running VS. NET 2005 or NETBEANS

i was just wandering which one you will recommend MSI P965 Platinum or ASUS 650i SLI... after all P965 is seems like a lot more stable and a great performer... I am not going to use SLI...
So when should we expect the comprehensive board review.? i hope its before x-mas. i have still not been able to finalize the board for my next system build with E6600 in January '07... So far MSI 965 platinum is winning the race.:)
