    Sandy Bridge CPU on Ivy bridge motherboard doable?

    So I could get a 512mb stick instead of a 1GB to cut costs then?

    I'm going to be running bartspe off a thumbdrive, so I don't think more than 1GB will be used.

    I'll be sure to keep you guys up to date. I'm also up to any recommendations that anyone has for a cheap motherboard. Thanks to everyone for the advice. :toast:

    Ok, so with that said I'm going to get the Athlon II and OC as much as possible on stock volts. Any recommendations on how much RAM I should use for my application?

    Really? I thought the athlon would be slower due to the lack of L3 cache?

    I'm looking at setting up at least 3 machines. I'm also trying to keep overhead costs fairly low. The machines will boot bartspe off thumbdrives (no hds for cost savings) which will have BOINCpe installed on it. As for the cpus, I'm taking a look at the AMD Phenom X4 9750 since its only 90 bucks...

    ASUS eee PC

    I actually just bought an ASUS eeePC 1005HA. The quality on it is good. I enjoy the keyboard more than my Samsung NC-10. I run it with both Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix. It handles both very well. I also use this laptop to play 720p videos (using a monitor). However, to get it to...

    XBOX Natal will be a 'new' console

    I've promised myself that I'm never going to buy another microsoft gaming console. The 360 has just been too poorly designed. I think the fact that bothers me the most is that instead of doing a recall like they should of done, microsoft instead just let the end user suffer for their...

    XBOX Natal will be a 'new' console

    I personally don't think that it's a matter of maturity, but instead a matter of pure frustration that the users are experiencing. I know I'll probably get called a liar for this post, but I have a friend who has been through upwards of six Xbox 360s (we've stopped counting by this point...

    Laptop for photoshop

    Hey everybody, I have a friend who needs a new laptop. He wants to use the laptop for his classes at college. The laptop must handle photoshop well, as well as video editing. He would also like the battery life to be 3 hours or more. The budget is around $1,400 (US). Any suggestions would be...
