    Let's see what happens, but I suspect the transition should be pretty painless as far as processor costs goes, no more than when Conroe came. We will all of course have to transition to DDR3, but hasn't that long been a step overdue?

    About the HDD thing. So if a format doesn't erase everything, so do you have less space on your HDD after a few formats, then you did new?

    No, the space becomes reallocated as free space.

    So while you can recover the data, it just gets written over when you start using it?

    Yes! It is not that easy to recover data without some means and intent of doing it. Once data has been rewritten it becomes virtually impossible to recover.

    Cool, I understand now.

    Imran, those Q6400s are B3 stepping. Horrible for OCing compared to the G0s.

    Ok, thanks! It was the processor that confused me for a moment. I didn't recall suggesting anything about budget Quad cores.;D

    lol
    yea
    355 x 10 = 3550mhz stable!!!!!!!!!!!
    wooohoooo
    3.55ghz is very very good for me (never had a conroe / kentsfield even boot up at 3.55ghz let alone be stable at that speed!) this is with 1.50v.
    (CPU-Z shows 1.408v so this is safe, right?)
    Is 1.50v a bad voltage for 24/7 usage with a CNPS 9700 LED cooler???
    thanks,

    You're quite welcome. With so many posts I forgot about our overclocking adventure. LOL

    would you guys rather have 377.82(1511mhz fsb) x 9 = 3400mhz
    http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=388438
    OR
    350(1400mhz fsb) x 10 = 3500mhz
    does the FSB speed affect the computer's overall performance that much?
    i think the first one (1511mhz fsb and 3400mhz cpu speed) is better....right???
    thanks,

    1.5V is a bit on the high side for a CNPS9700, but you might get away with it depending on which CPU you're using. If it's a quad, I'd back it down a bit, you might be alright with a dual core though, depending on how hot the CPU's getting.

    What sort of performance are we expecting from Nehalem? It's been touted as a core 2 duo breaker for ages, but I've heard very little officially that I understand...
