Need info...Intel Dual Core T2600..

[Dumo]

Got this cpu...http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=86119

Back to Intel...my last one is PIII 800..

What mobo and memory to run this cpu? Anyone tried with -90C?
Thanks in advance:)
Dumo.

[ingentingmendeg]

people are saying to wait for the Aopen i975x mobo. but im not sure when it is coming out.

[Dumo]

This is must be the mobo that creates all the buzz:) ....http://www.cdrinfo.com/forum/tm.asp?m=125559&mpage=1𞩷

I talked to Aopen San Jose and they said March release...:(

Tired with AMD's cold bug....I will jump ship if neccessary..

Is this asus mobo work ok?......http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/product.asp?ad=fg&pid=13585

[kiwi]

Believe me you won't regret. Dothan and now Yonah are awesome chips. I am waiting for MB too.


No, that asus board will not work with yonah

[Dumo]

Initial run with this cpu will be with Asus P5WD2-E, I hope it will be ok. with cold:)
Which DDR2 to get?

OOps, This Asus won't work..

actually this motherboard will work with this cpu.
obiously the main reason is, sockets aren't compatible.

[kiwi]

Ofcourse sockets are not compatible. It will not work unless asus releases adapter. Same was with s478 boards and dothan. You need asus ct479 adapter to run it.

[cirthix]

the cpu and mobo are totally different sockets. It would be easier to run a 754 chip in a 939 mobo than to run yonah in 775.

[Dumo]

So, which mobo should I get for intel duo cpu?
Sorry....still a noob with this new Intel stuff:)

The motherboards arent released yet.

[Dumo]

The motherboards arent released yet.Thanks. So, just waiting for now.

[cirthix]

Thanks. So, just waiting for now.

Yeah, just waiting. I don't understand why you would drop $400+ on a cpu that won't have a compatable motherboard for a while.

[Dumo]

Yeah, just waiting. I don't understand why you would drop $400+ on a cpu that won't have a compatable motherboard for a while.It will soon:) and this cpu probly will be a gem once its up and running..


Just get rid of my AMD cpu (and cold bug that goes with it) and its acessories, so its a new ball game.
@ least my cooling doesn't have to stay idle.

Edit:
Any decent DDR2 that you probly know will scale ok?
Thanks cirthix.

[vengance_01]

First chips are usually the best :)

See if you can get ahold of some discontinued Micro D9 Fatbodies, there is a sticky in the "Xtreme Bandwidth Forum" with possible models.

We also have the brand new Mushkin XP2-5300, Rated at DDR2-667 3-3-3-10 that can overclock easily to DDR2-800 3-3-3

I'm also wanting to go for the Aopen / T2600 setup but I have a question. If a 479 pin yonah can bench / outperform AMD, then why does AMD need 460 more pins (939 - 479), or the socket 775 intel need more pins?

Thanks

[derektm]

really? How so?

Alex

I've seen it happen with the CABNE 0530 opteron 144/146 and so on and with the opteron 170 0530's.

[isp]

I've got a good feeling about that chip, now you just need that Aopen board.... :)

i would say power, hyper threading, hyper transport, stuff like that. But you can't really compare them.

Becuase their different architectures right?

"See if you can get ahold of some discontinued Micro D9 Fatbodies"

They're discontinued? I just went to my local retailer and they had a couple in stock plus their supplier hasn't specified a limit on how many they have.

I think they just said they're discontinued to drive the price up.

[Waus-mod]

dumo,

Im also switching over. Allready did on my dothan and i now bought an t2600ES and also waiting on the aopen 975x. For the memory: go for some Fat body d9 like corsair 5400Ul.

And as the -90! I doubt it has and coldbug like dothan (all the way ln2).. what i think is mayb an coldboot under -150°C.

[ingentingmendeg]

the core duo's are socket 479 right?

[freecableguy]

478

[DaWaN]

the core duo's are socket 479 right?
Their socket is called Socket 480.... but it only have 478 pins :)

they aren't being produduced anymore, they seem to have alot of leftovers though. Are you positive they were fat bodies?

Overclocking: 667MHz to 1GHz (with DDRII 800 DIMMs)

I'm not at all into this Intel stuff, but does this mean we are going to be limited on FSB? Some explanation maybe o how Intel CPU's work... FSB-multi-HTT?
