    Please recommend a good socket 775 mobo for cheap. FSB OC is a priority.

    Hi, I have an e2160 on an ASRock 4coredual-SATA2 Rev.2 motherboard. Well, I have found that the mobo will go to 290 FSB which I think leaves some unused clocks on my CPU. What I want to do is get a cheap $120 US or less motherboard that will allow me to take this CPU as high as it will go on...

    If running DDR2 at a slower FSB, can timings typically be tightened ?

    HI, I have an ASRock motherboard that does not allow for much of a fast FSB. I have overclocked an e2160 to 290x9 and that is as fast as she goes. I have some Kingston ValueRAM, KVR667D2 1 GB sticks running dual channel which is able to run on a FSB of 333 at 5-5-5-?. Well, since I can't...

    Advice on a low end A/V (adobe) & gaming CPU and mobo., please.

    I have been happily using an AMD Athlon XP overclocked to a 3200+ with a Gig of RAM and an ATI all Wonder 9700 Pro for a few years now. I have all IDE drives, AGP video card and good OCZ platinum DDR RAM (2 x 512) and some stable generic DDR 400 (2x512). I am not all that into games, I just...

It happens with DVDs, streaming RealPlayer, Streaming...
