FabulousFred Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 This EPP stuff for memory timing says it only works with Nvidia.Do they mean the ram will run faster or just have better plug and play timings? I can set timings in bios myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 EPP is just marketing... It will set the best timings for you automatic but with some tweaking/restarting you can do it yourself. It´s just made for nOObs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabulousFred Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yea that price has sunk in..I have an EVGA 7900gtxWhat are your thoughts on the EVGA boards http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?...N82E16813188013Lifetime warranty sounds better than blue lights and keychains(asus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 well im wondering about you. do you really want SLI? you could get a 200$ mobo w/ intel chipset. an e6600 which will easily reach e6700 speeds and beyond. sell your 7900gtx. get an 8800gts. if you do that, you will save $100+ on the mobo, 100$ on the cpu, ebay your 7900gtx for 200$. thats 400$. a 640mb 8800gts costs ~350$. just something to throw out at you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabulousFred Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 hmm..I didnt even know the 7900gtx was going on ebay for that much. I do think I really like the warranty on EVGA......So, the E6600 is the same chip as the 6700 just clocked lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 the only difference between the e6600 and the e6700 is that the e6600 has a multiplier of 9x and the e6700 has a multiplier of 10x. all this helps out on is overclocking, but when your using multipliers or 9x and 10x, they really don't make that much of a difference unless you have phase change and you are trying to overclock to an insane speed. then there is the clock speed but you can easily overclock the e6600 to e6700 speeds, EASILY. so get the e6600.here are 7900gtx's on ebay:http://search.ebay.com/7900gtx_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40i love evga also, if you get an 8800gts, get an evga.

FabulousFred Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 I have read about a price drop on the Q6600 to $266 next month. Will anything really use 4 core in the next year and a half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
