Lot of legwork there Oiges!
When I look at the time I have spent trying to find this coveted mobo, vs. the money I could have made by working during that same time - it comes clear to me that maybe I'm going to let go of the concept of hanging on to my old ram. I've wanted this mobo with...
Thanks. I've heard of folks recently being able to take an ASRock 775i65G with an E6300 from the stock 266 FSB up to 300 MHz. That only represents about a 12% overclock.
The E6300 seems comfortably capable of 50-70% (2.8-3.15 GHz), with some reports of aircooled oc's as high as the 90%...
The market doesn't currently offer a rich set of choices for Conroe owners who want to overclock this CPU on a micro-ATX motherboard.
Given that this CPU has such potential, do you think that the major motherboard manufacturers will be rolling out choices that have reasonable overclocking...
Built the P5PE with E6300 today. No adjustments for overclocking at all. No ability to get to 14x on the conroe. If you use DDR400 (PC3200) then the E6300 comes up stock at 1.86 GHz.
To investigate some of the other claims of people being exasperated with an underclocked CPU, indeed when...
Shipped on Monday by UPS from NJ to FL. I'll post the low down on the Asus board both here and on Newegg's review page.
Someone posted a negative report of the overclockability on this thread of the Asus forum.
I'm betting he had slower than PC3200 ram installed. I'd guess that these...
What zap said about the 14x on the netburst processors makes an awful lot of sense. (thanks Zap). I have a strong feeling that I'll be stuck at stock. I happen to be ok with that. (ok, not thrilled though).
Reply from Asus tech support was "we cannot support overclocking issues." I sent...
Hey Nedder,
On the memory, to do it syncronous would require DDR-533. They would have to mention that. They say DDR 400, and so surely it is. It clearly does asynchnonous timings.
I've posted on that thread that you linked to, as well as in the Asus forums. I have an inquiry into...
If the board really does unlock the multiplier up to 14 as advertised, even at the standard FSB of 266:
266 x 10 = 2.66 GHz =E6700 speed
266 x 11 = 2.93 GHz =X6800 speed - Intels top CPU at ~$1000.00 US
266 x 12 = 3.19 Ghz (a 72% overclock relative to E6300 stock of 1.86)
Here is one...
Multiplier Unlock?
From the Asus site:
The P5PE-VM offers the CPU Lock Free feature, which allows you to adjust CPU multiplier to 14x. The reduction of multiplier value provides more flexibility for increasing external FSB frequency to raise memory bus bandwidth. CPU Lock Free boosts...
I'm in the same boat of wanting to overclock an E6300 on this.
It suggests on page 58 of 80 (2-16) that you can unlock downward. On the right of a screenshot it says,
"Unlock locked CPU
and let it run at
lower multiplier
setting."
Is it only downward? Am I correct in remembering...
Note that as you see other free after rebate items on this site, the fine print on the PC Mall rebate forms say only one rebate per week.
An Anandtech thread for the other PC Mall FAR items is here. Don't get me wrong on this, I'm not slamming. If it weren't for this particular posting, I'd...
This link is worth a 2nd (or 3rd). These folks contend/suggest that Apple's cut could be as little as 3% (what eBay gets).
There are some VERY INTERESTING views on this page. Links to RIAA Radar and more.
WARNING: Reading this link can be a big time suck! I lost several hours by clicking...
STAPLES SITE FIXED, or so it looks to me. It pulls up as "K-Byte 256MB PC2100 DDR memory 489628 $69.98 - $17 instant savings - $23 mail-in rebate = $29.94" now.
Call them. Typically very nice CSRs. (yes - occasional exception). Calling them to sign up is potentially best as well. You can ask them straight-up if there is anything they can do to sweeten the deal (beyond the one free month), and often they will throw in an extra book or two.
Yes. The built in software (Audible Manager) will let you easily burn these to regular audio CD as a CD-R.
If you want to go to mp3 then you'll need Goldwave and an older version of the Audible Manager . Follow the "definitive guide" at the bottom of this page. (long post-but worth...
Did the deal without the PM. OD has now discontinued the drive - shows that way when you try to put it in your cart.
CLARIFICATION OF THE REBATE UNCERTAINTY:
The ONLINE rebate (03-63916) (available at Staples online rebate center or rebateshq.com) doesn't mention that it must be at...
Guess the topic is becoming blase after everyone decided that it would take a major fight to get it to work. Last post (as of now) was 9-26 at 8:11pm, which puts it about 3 pages back. That's the major thread. I think the other one (>$10 still has some recent activity.
By the way, WD rebate...
Trying to get people to not call is an absolute lost cause. No amount of posting here will stop everyone from calling, and actually, it makes no difference in terms of wether or not it will be honored. The only difference it makes is how quickly they take the deal down.
Spoke with WD rebate CSR. She told me that they will only honor one rebate or the other. She stated that this was a mistake on the part of Dell.
I'm not sure that the extra time spent fighting this one with an uncertain outcome is worth $100.
Did you know that Dell's ResellerRatings are...
REPORT FROM THE REBATE CENTER - NO SOLID ANSWERS YET, PHOTOCOPY OF UPC OK FOR 1ST REBATE
A call to the 800 number revealed that only one of the rebates is currently showing in their system - the one from 9-1 to 9-27 (their tracking/job #4722-687). The CSR was wonderfully helpful, and read the...

I've been a subscriber for a number of months, and am THRILLED with Audible. I love listening to books in the car.
Audible's customer service is awesome!! The CSR's have been given a lot of liberty to award extra books. Nicely asking in the context of redeeming one special or another is...
Not like it changes the choice to jump on this, but anyone understand WD warranty?
I didn't see any mention of warranty on the Dell site. The same drive (but with a PCI/ATA controller) at the Dell retail site says a 3 year warranty. It seems that that would certainly apply here - yes?
Lestan, I might be careful on the two address thing. There's a chance it might mess you up. Safest to call the 800 number tomorrow and just straight up ask.
I think you meant to say:
"One says they will accept the UPC OR capacity label, the other says capacity label only.. "
15.56 in tax to FL, so provided it flies, it works out to just under 19 cents/gig. Wow!
Regarding the negative feedback, this need not be viewed as one party being completely right or wrong. I'm the one who posted the three links to Reseller Ratings, Bizrate, and Pricegrabber's merchant ratings.
Regarding the reaction of those of us who posted negative feedback about our...
I too can understand a mistake. However coupled with a cc that is already charged and an unpleasant experience with the CSR on my part, I feel that its my duty to let others know of my unsatisfactory experience with them. Good idea to link to the feedback pages reDont. Allow me to add a few...
You probably won't see a difference. If you are doing long processes (MPEG encoding etc) and you are very sensitive to the times, then perhaps. I think the general consensus is that memory tuning can get you very roughly 10% overall. 10% is usually not visible. Here's a good memory tuning...
These are some very sweet deals here. Thanks for reminding us.
I got a couple of 'refurb' USB 2.0 pcmcia cards that came in new packaging, and could not be distinguished from new.
The 4 port router for $10.49 and the
Firewire PCI card for $6.99 are among the many appealing deals.
