    evga 650i ultra

    I think someone suggested a nice heatsink in one of the threads for the MCP on the 650i ultra board. I forgot which one it was...I think its was a zalman heatsink... Anyone have any suggestions. It has to be small enough to put a video card over it. Thanks.

    memory

    Hi, The difference between 680 and 650 memory wise is that 680 has support for EEP memory <=1200, but 650i is <=800 right? So will 650i be able to run memory that is say 1000? It just does not have eep support right? So that means I have to tweak myself.
