How did this guy get this chip over two months ago? WTF!! Seems like I'm the only one on these forums without a Conroe/Merom/

You're obviously new here... :p:

MANY members at XS had Yonahs Meroms Conroes, MONTHS before release :)

Thanks... it would be nice for them to put out a bios that works out many of the kinks in this board, there are many threads listing them and the fact that it is the only enthusiast MODT board means many are stuck with it. I would definitely use AOpen more if they righted these issues, otherwise I'll chalk this one up as a lesson learned and move on.

You're not alone dude... :)

If I really wanted, I've had Conroe already, but I don't think it's worth it's price yet, after buying Yonah :D
Maybe I'll go just Merom, since I already have the right mobo...

I game mostly, and though Merom/Conroe are even better CPUs vs Yonah, I will likely be video bottlenecked before I even hit a CPU bottleneck. I think ill hold off on Merom/Conroe, then go crazy on an R600 instead when it comes out. :)

Any updates?

Getting a multiplier = 12 (T7200) instead of 9 (E6600) for ~$300 seems tempting...

Code:

166 Mhz 266 MHz 4 MB 2 MB 4MB 2 MB x14 T7600 - $637 x13 T7400 - $423 x12 T7200 - $294 x11 T5600 - $241 x10 T5500 - $209 E6700 - $530 x9 E6600 - $316 x8 E6400 - $224 x7 E6300 - $183

merom also has fsb wall, i think E6600 rock 3.6~4G air easily,

and aopen rd won't spread new bios support merom and turnoff c1e ,eist.

I thought it was Yonah who had a FSB wall, or the mobo not having a BIOS good enough, not Merom. But it's hard to tell since there's only this mobo available for overclocking.

Has anyone overclocked a newer steeping Merom? Do they still have the FSB wall?
