Lowrider... I also have a q6600. I am running at 277 fsb with no problems. I am running 2gig DDR2 and an AGP video card. Booting clean is the wall. I can go faster if I use the setfsb utility.

I'd like to know if this new All-in-wonder card would work with the SATA2 board. http://www.visiontek.com/produ...ter/allinwonderHD.html I don't see the 3650 chipset specifically listed on the VGA support list. Also I am a little concerned that video recording might need to take...

I'm still sitting at rev 1.5 bios. I there any compelling reason to update to the newer BIOS? Any new settings availible for a faster overclock?

Yes I do. I also have core ,3.3,5.0,and 12 voltages and two fan speeds displayed. Download and install http://www.almico.com/speedfan434.exe Start speedfan and then minimize it. Gkrellm uses speedfan to get the sensor values. Next, fire up gkrellm right click title bar ->...

Somebody did a windows port of gkrellm, http://metz.gehn.net/downloads/

No, I mean something that shows you how much each processor core is being utilized. Like the bars you get in task manager.

Does anybody know of a good multi-core processor load utility for XP? I was thinking along the lines of something similiar to gkrellem for linux.

One problem I have recently discovered with this board. The USB ports have limited current handling capacity. FLASH USB pens work fine, as do my other USB peripherals But if I try to connect a 2.5" laptop drive in an external USB enclosure it will have difficulty spinning up or will...

Why is that odd? Faster bus speed = faster 3dmark. Right?

Yep, it's a decent board if your not into overclocking. I just hope we start to see some decent parallel applications that can really take advantage of multiple cores before my q6600 becomes obsolete. Actually what would be nice is a good multi-core linux distribution. Not just an smp...

I recently purchased this ide/sata adapter: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5458 This converter board is based on a Sunplus "satalink" chip. I have tested it with a variety of older 2.5" and 3.5" IDE drives that I had laying around and they all seem to work just fine with it...

OK, here is the latest in the IDE/SATA converter saga. It is not defective. I could not get it to work with my 200gig WD IDE drive. However, it does work with an assortment of about 5 different older 2.5" laptop drives I have here. These are various manufacturers (toshiba, hitachi...

wineo, cmpee, I keep thinking that maybe I am doing something wrong with the adapter. I am going to try again here in a moment. Here is the one I am trying to get to work: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5458

I bought a Bilateral IDE/SATA adapter. Mail ordered it cheap from Hong Kong (I think it was $6 USD or so) I still have an older IDE drive and I thought it would be nice to get rid of the ribbon cable. Although I also have a newer SATA drive that I normally boot off of. Anyway, the little...

Sorry, intent was to post this into the ASROCK 4CoreDual SATA2 catagory...
