Without a doubt, the MAX is the board. The rest looks OK. You can have a lot of fun with that CRUCIAL Ram too.

CRUCIAL BALLISTIX DDR2 800. And get an ABIT AW9D or MAX if you want to get the most out of that C2D.

ABIT AW9D or AW9D MAX. You will never regret either.

Boot with a stick of 1.8V RAM - up your memory voltage setting. Shut down, install the Corsair - boot up - rock and roll.

Power Supply?

I just threw one of those INTEL boards in the trash. Worst 140.00 I ever spent. RAM prices will not be going down any time soon. Buy an ABIT AW9D and start with a Gig of CRUCIAL Ballistix PC 6400. If you can't afford that right now, wait a few weeks, save up and be happy.

Did you use The DELL Driver CD that came with the system? It's all on there. The PCI drivers are on it. I just did a reinstall on an E 310 last week.

If you are going to use DDR2667, get CRUCIAL; get a PC Power &Cooling PSU - Silencer 470 or better; use an ABIT AW9D (or MAX) motherboard.

Just get the CRUCIAL and be happy. By the way, the 10th Anniversary line is some of the most overclockable available. Check it out at Google.

Most of the boards still aren't ready for C2D, much less Quad Core. Get an ABIT AW9D MAX.
