Just got these for my i7 build
:![]() I opened them up and just stared at them(they were a pain to get them back in the plastic casing). Still can't use them tho as i still have to wait for more cash so i can buy my i7 cpu and heatsink.

I know how you feel, at on point I had my (P55D)mobo and the ram for about 2 weeks and I almost looked at it and tried to mess with it every day just so I wouldn't go nuts because I needed to wait for all the other parts.

operation nostalgic is a go! I got this PC for free. it currently has a s478 board with a celery 1.6ghz and 512 of pc2100 ram. it only works when it feels like it. other times it has artifacts BUT thats all about to change! ordered a MSI G33M board that supports 45nm quads and DDR2 800 up to 8gb and next i will find a good set of memory and start the case modding for MAYBE water or a good smaller high end cooler. ALSO i have a LSP650 that surprisingly still works that need to be used so its going to this project BUT i need a 140mm fan. if anyone has a 140mm fan that they could donate to this machine i would really appreciate it.

yea thats what i was thinking too PP when i got it. she used it for a long time then it started going through a reboot cycle so i reseated the ram and got it to boot but every other boot it will artifact bad!
I have a old TAC case out in my storage building that im going to use the USB and start and reset buttons off of to use on the newer motherboard. i also have a AM2+/AM3 board comming in the mail soon that if anyone would like to have it i would trade it for a dual core 775 chip (ANY DUAL CORE EXCEPT A PENTIUM D 805 but any other dual core is fine).

Not to piss on anyone's cake but I had that MSI board not too long ago for a client build and it sucks.
Very basic board and little (none) OC potential in my sample, the onboard video failed after 4 months and I had to replace it with an 8400GS I had laying around due to MSI's failure to RMA the board.... In my view, that board, along with MSI in general should be avoided...I will no longer buy any of their stuff no matter the price or tell people to buy their crap.

I still have an MSI socket 939 board running in another rig of mine, its been solid for years. MSI is generally a great motherboard manufacturer, but i guess in your case they're one of the worst. I personally use EVGA.
