    Will I see performance drop going from e8400 to Q6600?

    I noticed that Q6600 runs at 1066 fsb but e8400 runs at 1333. I currently have my e8400 @ 3.6ghz, and hoping to get the Q6600 around the same speed because I got a G0 Slacr model. Still don't understand why the q6600 runs at 1066 fsb and not 1333?

    Very annoying Firefox problem...

    Finding text with Ctrl-F doesn't work like it used to, it just doesn't find words even though they are in plain sight. I did notice that I get a cursor now on webpages, could that have something to do with it? Now if I want to find some text on a page I have to select the whole page, paste it...

    MS Natural keyboard buttons won't work assigned to shortcuts

    If I use intellitype pro to assign programs/shortcuts to buttons on keyboards, they will only work if they are actual program files and not shortcuts. The thing is, it was working fine before. What got botched? Pressing a button assigned to any shortcut does absolutely nothing. Tried...

    E8400 w/ GA P35-DS3L will not even run at stock speed let alone overclock

    Not sure what is going on here but no matter what adjustments I make in BIOS CPU is stuck at 2ghz with same multiplier and FSB. I read that you had to update the bios on this board for E8400 to work properly, so I did that. Updated to version F8a which specifically says supports Wolfdale/...
