Whoops, I saw the keys had colors on them and thought it was a Maximus.
Blame my incredibly shitty webcam.

ok so intel can figure out how to put a gpu on a cpu but they cant realize that plastic clips for a cpu cooler are bad? :frog: [editline]11th January 2011[/editline] its 2011 we dont need our computers being held together by plastic pins
So how big of a performance upgrade do you think I would see if I go from this setup: [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130307]Motherboard[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103281&cm_re=amd_8650-_-19-103-281-_-Product]Processor[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134797]Memory x2[/url] To this one: [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145260]Memory[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.575883]Motherboard+Processor[/url]

How exactly did you turn A into O?
Is there actually any sense in having more than 4GB DDR3 for only gaming and music edit converting etc?
Today I picked up my new mobo, ram, GPU, PSU, fans and optical drive I also ordered my case, HDD and i7 2600K :buddy: Gonna be the longest week wait ever, time to get off this ancient AMD X2.
Stuff just arrived in the biggest box in the universe :D Some unboxing pics if anyones interested: [url]http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/20632/1/unboxing?h=d17074[/url]
I want to know overclock results from you guys
Guys just so you're aware, the P8P67 series motherboards are plagued with boot issues. I'm suffering from them myself. Mostly they are simple "turn off and turn back on" fixes, but some of them are more serious. Would think twice before ordering one, definitely worth a bit of research.
All my components are in town, I can feel them, but they're not going out for delivery, the better get here today! :argh:

[QUOTE=Strikebango;27367094]Is there actually any sense in having more than 4GB DDR3 for only gaming and music edit converting etc?[/QUOTE] As far as gaming goes, more RAM will let you Alt+Tab out of games very quickly. I'm assuming it could help in music editing but I am not well versed in the subject.

[QUOTE=acds;27368843]Is the Sabretooth affected? It's an ASUS and P67 too.[/QUOTE] I would assume it would be the same on all of the new Asus boards. I had the same boot issues with my old Strike Extreme motherboard I bought 6 years ago. It's an Asus thing. It only happens when cold booting, after you get it running it's fine. Very strange problem.
Oh man i will be joining the RAM circle - [url]https://www.inet.se/artikel/5305673/corsair-4gb-2x2048mb-1600mhz-xms3[/url] I'll probably order the stuff today.
My friend also has that ram :v: [editline]12th January 2011[/editline] I'm probably gonna get some Dominators though. But same specs.
