Conroe anticipators - which will you buy?

Neither for the time being.

Will spend my money buying cheaper a64's to get the hang of what LN2 does to hardware :)

i didnt know there was an intel tool, and guess what... im a consumer. common or not, i am. intel boards are not my thing. i dont like them. especially since they dont offer half the features of a brand like asus. can you please link me to where it says that you can change vcore in an unmodded board? by unmodded i mean no mods of any kind, straight from the box. im not saying it doesnt exist, but ive heard differently.

My friends P5LD2 has more bios options than my D955XBK but he cant OC anywhere near as good as mine. Intel boards didnt OC well in the past, but thats changing...

lol, youre one guy with one board. no one is talking about the p5ld2, and certainly no one is talking about an asus conroe board yet, because they arent out.

Regular conroe for now or when it comes out... :)

Fugger was using a Bad axe M/B no mods . It looks pretty good to me. Fugger could you please comment on the O/C options on the Intel Bad Axe M/B please.

I think I'll go with the E6700. The x1900 CF is going to eat all my money. :(

6600, If the conroe 6600 can OC to 3.4G on air with stock volts, then i will run it at 3.2G since i want a quiet and cool running system. I want it to run stable during the hot summer months also.

6700, If the 6700 can OC to 3.6G on air with stock volts, then I will run it at 3.4G and also wait for the price to drop.

If the 6600 and 6700 have similar OC ceilings, then get the 6600 and spend the extra money on 4G of RAM.

In a few months a lot can change, so the input by members here will impact my decision also.

E6600 at first, XE when it comes out.

gotta have me a E6700

i will sell movieman for any conroe xD

I buying a E6700 for my main rig, and just maybe a E4200 to play with. I realy wonder about mobos for a E4200?
:bounce:

Surely a E6600/6700

I'm upgrading from a 3Gig 165, Ultra-D, 2*1GB Ballistix. Kinda wanna break even, maybe spill a tad over, so it's probably the e6600. One thing I'd like to know is how to select a good clocker. AMD CPUs have steppings and week (most important part), what do you look for when buying an intel?

It depends on how well I sell my sig comp, but surely I'll take a 6600 for the 4mb and a DFI board and take it closer to 400*9 with a Big Typhoon if that's possible :D

As thunderstruck! said, does Intel also have good stepp/week/batches?

XE :) cant wait to put it under a vapochill LS !!!

Getting an E6700 first and, finances permitting, an EX later.:cool:

I'll probably go with the E6700, provided I have the funds. Otherwise on phase I'll be maxing out my fsb before I max out the chip. :p:

6700, i'd like XE but don't think i'll have enough money... :(

6700 and 6600 for me.

looks like i'll be getting the XE...

E6600 Baby!

E6600 under water for me ;)

look like there will be a shortage of E6600/E6700 on the start :p

E6700 for me, but my question is DDR2 667 or DDR2 800, any advice? I probably wont ever go beyond air cooling if that helps.
