jeebas, need to pick up a new mobo and cpu i guess...

No SLI on Intel boards. nVidia i680 chipsets have some SLI action but they don't like quads IIRC.

There are a lot of holes in the board. Make sure you update your BIOS to get all the quad core stability updates and you'll be pretty good. I was able to get 2.8, but then nothing between 2.8 and 3.2. 3.2 was as high as I could get my Q6600 stable on that board. The only people I've seen getting 3.6 on a 680sli board were people doing all sorts of vdroop/vdrop mods. Even then, the vast majority of them were on water.

So... 680i will get you SLI and a moderate overclock. p35/x38 will get you a high overclock and no SLI.

Is that 930 OCd? I would think you'd be closer to 10K with that setup in 3dm2006. I got to 9500 with an X2-3800+ @2.8GHZ and 8800GT @756/1834/950

yeah thats what i was thinking too, but no iys Stock the mobo is crap

haha, the place i bought it from, has it on sale now for less than what i paid "279", they have it on for 249, so "i worked there before" I will go back and get them to give me the difference back, +10% .

thats how they do it, so thats fine with me
