    Problem installing 8.8 and 8.9 catalyst

    Yes all drivers were installed before video drivers. All windows updates were installed as well. Even after I had problems with 8.8 and 8.9 I went back to 8.7 just fine. I also tried just drivers and leaving out CCC no luck there. I put a ticket in with ATI and what they keep saying I went...

    XFX or EVGA 790I Motherboard

    I've done enough research now. I'm going with a Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6. I found that foxconn manufactures both those boards :( Since I'm not concerned with SLI this makes sense for me. Plus I haven't read anything bad about the Gigabyte board.

    HOWTO: Overclock C2Q (Quads) and C2D (Duals) - A Guide v1.7

    I have a P5WDH Deluxe with Kingston Hyper-X DDR-800. I got the chip up to the 3.0 GHZ. The system is only stable with the ram at 667. Is there something I'm missing or is there a limit to what the RAM will do in this configuration? Or is my ram just not the best for doing this? Thanks
