After buying a 775-Dual VSTA as a transitional board into the world of dual core, and now having my e6400 running at about 20c idle, i'm furious that this ASrock POS starts having trouble around 310-315 FSB, and i am truly unsatisfied with my laughable 2.5 ghz OC. To get to the point, i am going to buy a new motherboard as soon as i round up the funds, basically 2-3 weeks.
So heres the story (don't look at the sig, a bit outdated) <- EDIT: Updated sig
ASRock hunk-a-junk
e6400
XMS 184-pin DDR PC3200 2x512 1gb
PCI-E XFX 7900 GS
LSI 20320-R SCSI Controller
WMP11 Wireless adapter
Do you think it is possible to find a decent conroe-supporting motherboard that also supports old school DDR memory?
If not, what is the best combination of conroe supporting motherboard and DDR2 RAM that would come to a total price around (or under) 250$. The budget isnt super flexible, but could be brought up a good 75$ if necessary.
OC is very important to me, i've never had a computer that didnt have a CPU bottlenecked by a sub-par mobo, and i wan't to change that. Good voltage control, as well as proper RAM dividers is an absolute must.
Thanks is advance
P.S. - Anybody have luck with this mobo?
