I have the Gigabyte 945-S3 and have my E6300@3.5 I think that one deserves mention for ~$123 shipped. My memory is Gskill PC8000 DDR2-1000 and is running@1:1

WTF?
You got an E6300 @ 3.5 using a 945 based board?

ASUS P5B-E FTW!
It's with a 1.65Vmch version. 4:5 @400FSB has only been possible with BIOS 1407, though.Originally posted by: Yoxxy
Lopri that is with the 1.80 mch version of the board or the 1.65?

hello i decided to upgrade to c2d.
so far i've decided on these parts
Asus P5B Deluxe (non wifi)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
Scythe NINJA PLUS Rev.B (SCNJ-1100P)
G.SKILL 2 GB DDR2-800 5-5-5-15
basically the only difference from your "mainstream overclocked gamer" rig is the memory and the heatsink.

is this gskill the same exact thing? becides the color and the lower price?
will the scythe ninja + revb work as well or better than the thermaltake big typhoon?
also i was thinking of upgrading my windows boot drive from my current
80GB Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 SATA to the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB
is the new perpendicular recording 7200.10 worth it? its pretty cheap for 320gb at $95

hey thx for the reply yoxxy
i might take your advice and pick up the big typhoon instead of the ninja and save $15.
but the ram you suggested is too pricey for me at $287 http://www.tankguys.biz/ddr2-3338-p-167...sCsid=fb6321f2b0dd8d67342680f69f1b6bbf
the highest i can go for the memory is $240.
can you point me to another pair of memory within my budget?
i really want to make sure i can hit 3.0 minumum and preferably 3.2. but i cant spend 287 on the mem.
is there a big difference between the asus p5b deluxe and the p5b e?
if i dropped down to the p5b e i might be able to swing a $290 memory sticks.
