Well, it was good while it lasted. One of my orders DID get rejected, but I'm still satisfied. Managed to pull in 3, between gf and myself: 1) Terminator 2: Ultimate Edition 2) Usual Suspects: Special Edition 3) Snatch 4) Trainspotting 5) Rushmore 6) Seven: Platinum Edition 7) As Good as...

Hey guys, I may be a bit of a lurker, doing more reading than posting, but this deal was just too hot. Placed three orders, and had my girlfriend do one. For $87.50, I'm getting: Usual Suspects Special Edition Rushmore As Good as it Gets Father of the...

My two cents... This case is nice, and has tons of room for expansion. Something like 10 bays, but that's more than I need. The company is ok. I ordered some Corsair memory when they had it on sale with free shipping for a good $30 less than newegg. Since I didn't check their history...

Hey Tash. Just saw the post. Makes me (hate to say it) feel a little better, because I myself just had that problem three days ago. I posted around here, but no one really helped out. I oc'ed a 1.6 to a fsb of 144 with the memory up around 384 mhz. It was running smoothly, until I messed...

Isn't this great? Aside from Jaybee's help, I can just sit in here and answer all my own questions... Everyone's too busy flaming each other and arguing about amd vs intel I guess

*Update* I restored to about a month back, but still no fix. Re-loaded the OS and it's back up stable (so far). Anyone else had the OS just start freaking out on them like this? Could it be that at 140+ fsb, system files get out of whack? I don't have enough oc'ing experience to know if you...

Bump for more input...

Thanks again. I'm gonna do a system restore from back a bit. As of right now though, it's still giving the same error, even at a 1:1 memory ratio, and a fsb of 100. Could this memory just have crapped out on me?? I had played with the memory at 2.6 and 2.7 volts, but mostly just 2.6...

Thanks Jaybee. :) I'll look into the system restore feature. Sucks, cause I had it running smoothly (or so I thought). It prime95'd for well over 14 hours at that setting, and went through a couple of the 6 hour tests in Hot Cpu tester. Got certification and all. Strange. Just a note. When...

I just recently put together a new system: 1.6@2.3 w/144 fsb Asus P4B533-E vcore 1.6(idle), 1.525(load) 384 mhz Corsair XMS PC2700 (undocumented jumper trick), cas 2-3-3-6 Gainward MX440 (Crappy, I know) Maxtor 80gb quiet drive. I'm running XP and have done pretty extensive prime95 testing...

Thanks Mikki. Dang. Figured it out, feel like an a#@. The power connection was off by 90 degrees. Guess I mis-read the manual. At least it's working though. Thanks again.

Sorry if this isn't exactly the most suitable place for this post, but as far as I can tell, this is where the most knowledgeable people are. I just ordered everything for a new system. Got an asus p4b533-e, a 1.6a, and an antec true430 psu. Plugged it all in with stock hs/f and artic silver...

Anyone know about the 5/15 pack date? Waiting on new memory to try mine out, but was looking for a heads up.

This thread is quite hard, due to the plethora of options facing buyers today BUT, I'll be sure to take all this feedback into consideration. Thanks guys :)

SupermanCK, have you run into serious problems with system stability, or had some component issues with that kind of an overclock? Just curious to see what I may have to look forward to.
