Hi
I was thinking of building a E system but after reading this article on ocp
"thing that bothers me most that we have yet to see and will not be seeing for a while is the toll that will be taken on these motherboards by having to deal with all of this heat. It was not uncommon for us to see capacitors at 235F. That is certainly enough to burn you quite quickly. How are those capacitors and other motherboard components going to react to being baked for days at a time...or better yet, months at a time. I have a gut feeling that we are going to see a lot of Prescott related failures on the current motherboards that are in the market even if they are "Prescott Ready." " Changed my mine , will I see a big performance difference because of 1MB cache . The article also said that E didn't worked with Asus only with MSI and Abit IC7-G, I guesss these are my only choices .
What kind of memory is good for this setup.
