I have two HIS 4890 I've been using since June 2009, the 850 core clock speed models, with rebates (that I did get) paid less than $150.00 each. From the day I installed them, they were OC to...

Speaker System 5.1
Both are good choices, but if you are never going to crossfire then get the ASUS P5Q, if there is the possibility of running a crossfire set up get the P5Q-E or even better one of the X48 chipset...

Q6600 vs. Q9550 / Q9550S
Thank you for all the great input you gave me for my Q6600 vs. E8400 post. I guess I am taking my Q6600 for granted; after all, it is almost two years old, my bad. So now share your thoughts with me...

Q6600 vs. E8400
I just had Intel's tech support tell me the Q6600 is better than the E8400, basically because of the two extra cores. I have a Q6600 and love it, but the E8400 looks pretty darn good. We talked about...

Q6600
Take a hard look at the Intel Q6600, GO stepping chips only though. I have one on ASUS P5Q MB with a Thermalright SI-128 heatsink (low 30's at stock speeds), it will game hard or run heavy...

AXP-140 vs. SI-128
It will be interesting to see what the AXP-140 can do, my Thermalright SI-128 will keep a Q6600, OC to 3.5 GHz in the low 50's Celsius at full load, and the SI-128 is 400 grams lighter.
