    Intel D975XBX2 + 4GB Kingston KHX6400D2LLK2

    Thanks for the replies. The Kingston spec sheet http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX6400D2LLK2_2G.pdf indicates that the SPD is set for 667 at 1.8v but the modules have been tested to run at 800 at 2.0v. So if I want to run the memory at 800, do I just manually override the SPD and punch in...

    Intel D975XBX2 + 4GB Kingston KHX6400D2LLK2

    I just bought (not built) a new PC. I asked for DDR2 800 MHz RAM because I believed that the motherboard supports it. But when I checked the BIOS I find that it's running at 667MHz. Can I just set it to 800? If it refuses to boot, will I have to mess with a jumper? If this is too...

    Intel D975XBX2 + Corsair 6400C4D

    Thanks for the reply. I see that the spec on yoru Mushkin is 1.8v. Still not sure whether I'll have issues with the Corsair. I appreciate the links. Whew, that's a lot to digest! I hope someone can boil this down for me and basically say "It's safe" or "It's not safe." Regards.

    Intel D975XBX2 + Corsair 6400C4D

    I'm about to buy a system and the PC vendor recommended this board and RAM. But I see that the board specs are 1.8v or 1.9v RAM while the memory specs indicate 2.1v. Are they incompatible? I have read some disturbing stories about this motherboard. Is it safe to buy one? Any advice, tips...

    Core 2 Due (Conroe) Drops Monday!

    They should have called it "Conrotium". At least then I'd know which chip it was. When can I buy it in a system from Dell Canada?

    Just saying "Hi"

    I'm a bit disoriented. I don't recognize many names. Where are Russ and Compuwiz? Is Red Dawn still here? What about that crazy GUTB? He, he, what a character. Did Anand finish school? I seem to remember he was just starting college. Oh well, I'll catch up. Nice to be here again.

    Just saying "Hi"

    I used to frequent these forums regularly but got sidetracked and my ISP died and so I changed email but I forgot my password. Suddenly today for no reason I remembered my old password so I'm here. I'll have to look around to see what's changed. Is my BX chipset obsolete yet? Cheers.

    Need recommendations for a 35MM SLR camera!

    I bought a Nikon F80 a couple of months ago and I like it. If I were buying Canon I'd get an Elan 7/7e. Good luck.

    NEW G4 IMACS ARE FOLKING COOL!!!

    I thought G5 was the new MAC. Doesn't the G4 runs at about 1/3 the speed of the newest PC chips? Oh no, I've succumbed to the MEGAHERTZ MYTH!

    Poll: who thinks "Ginger" is stupid?

    The technology is interesting but they will have to rethink the product. It has huge potential for injury. Also, think the cost of redesigning cities to give these things a safe place to run. Maybe useful for ferrying old folks around the mall. But the efficient motor and balance system...
