[panchoman]

lol yeah. jinx you me... hmm... some lanfest ram! lol.

 

[freeboy]

ok, the finals are in
E6850
CB 8500 DDR2 ram non led
and
anybody have the vinella asus p5k? seems everyone knows aboutthe expensive ones but there does not seem to be all that much differrence!

 

[panchoman]

dont you dare get a p5k vanilla, get a gigabyte instead. p5k and under such as the vanilla suffer from terrible vdroop and crappy ocing.

 

[freeboy]

thanks could not find these! I meant the 399 ozc kingston mushkin etc vs CB for the cheap that are SCARY fast thanks

Re tha lanfest one, I did look before and could not find, they are also not hte 8500 ram, does not that make some difference? One review showed a differnce in these two sets.. thanks again

 

[trt740]

they will hit 8500 speeds no problem

 

[panchoman]

you can always oc theram. im guess 8500 is 1066?

 

[panchoman]

that picture just reminds of you chavvy cars with drainpipe exhausts which we needs to be get rid of even though that looks kewl ram

 

[freeboy]

ok, the finals are in agaijn!
CB 8500
E6850
and picked by a nose( I crack myself up) the Asusp5k-e based on the negative reviews at EH from angry buyers of Gig boards sorry you gig lovers!
due to the feeding frenzy for quality 939 mobo and cpu I expect to break even! Is that not amazing!

Thanks again to all!

RE the board memory, Crucial works per many reviewers, had to go with the 6400 rather than the 8500 as EH changed the price right before I ordered! The Gig boards looked great too, other than the problem reviews in the eh customer feedback I probably would have gone that way...
so Crucial 2gigkit 6400.. I wanted to get expedited shiping, about 3 bucks and 2 day air, so it all gets here Thursday.. BUT screwed up, so I texted the CS folks..
WOW they upgraded to 2 day and added expedited shipping for FREE ssweet mother!
so. I am gettin a E6850 the p5k-E, o-clocking model and crossfire, and the Crucial mem 2gig for 441 shipped...

I hope to sell my fx60 939 cpu for the 270-300 and and the mem for 50-100 and the Asusi a8n32 sli dx mobo for 70-120.. these are what ebay shows currently for sold used like items.. and I should cover my costs! I am pleased and a HUGE thanks to alla here !

Feel free to pm me if interested in any of these

no i'm wrong you will get 300.00 ebay

 

[freeboy]

300? on the 60? not clear what you mean, thanks

 

[trt740]

Fx60 yes on ebay they are going from 399 to 400 .Which is hard for me to believe but thats what they are going for.

 

[freeboy]

yep, that is really what pushed this decision! If I sell the xwind fan(heavy one) and the cpu for 300 I will be fine, anything over that is gravy.. and I guess if you had some investment in a 939 setup you might want a fx60 they are nice chips, imo, ! so... I am please to go this route and hopefully can get towaards the 4000 mark.. also will run dominator fan setup to cool the ram... fyi , which I have already
thanks all
