If the signal isn't there, systems with a Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Extreme will not boot! This is also the reason why it turned out that you will need to replace even a 975X motherboard, although technically it could have supported Core 2 Duo.
Core 2 Duo Platforms
You can chose between Intel's 975X and P965 chipsets and Nvidia's upcoming nForce 590 SLI.
Are the x-axis labels missing on the "architecture scaling" graphs?

a) take an E6600 2.4 Ghz and overclock it to E6700 speed (or faster?)
b) take an E6700 2.66 Ghz and overclock it to X6800 speed, eg 2.93 Ghz
c) just fork out $$$ for a faster model and not bother overclocking.

Hardly anything about Intel\'s new processor remains secret: Core 2 beats Athlon 64, period. Our in-depth analysis focuses on scaling, temperature, overclocking and power consumption.

All the Conroe's can be overclocked. It's just that the X6800 has an unlocked multiplier, so you can change the multi either way and play around with FSB speeds. The non-Extreme chips have to be overclocked strictly by raising the FSB.

You can spend $999 on the X6800 and ~$200 on RAM, or $316 on a E6600 and ~$250 on RAM. Which sounds like the better deal?And the memory has to support those faster FSB?
Somone needs to show me the cheapest way to build one of these suckers :lol:
I wanna spend about 900 dollars and make it beat a FX-62. Possible???
