Not for me. Need something capable of 525 MHz+ , although I could just get a better CPU. Asus sent me a P5B Deluxe as well, but I gave that to someone else after reviewing. I'll be having a nice Abit AW9D-MAX coming in shortly though along with a DFi RD600 soon after it's released. I've got too...

Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 :) Plan on going mATX in a week or so though and housing it in one of these CLICK, so I can have a nice little portable computer I can take to university. Decided against a laptop as they're rubbish for gaming :)

need better MoBo...

ASUS P5W DH Deluxe vs. Gigbyte GA P965 DS3 - final verdict - XtremeSystems Forums I'll find maximum FSB in a little while :)

Finished installing XP about half an hour ago on the DS3. But now its 11.40 pm, and i'm tired. I'll benchmark it tomorrow. Here's a pic of my workbench:

Got some things in the posts today... I guess working for a computing magazine has its benefits ;) I'm currently running some tests on the P5W DH Deluxe and will do a clean install of XP and test the DS3 in around an hour :)

Gigabyte P965 DS3 > all of those in my opinion ;) Board comes day after tomorrow so i'll let you know :)

Gigabyte P965 DS3 arrived at the maxitmag office today :) They said they'll send it to me tomorrow along with a 2 GB Mushkin PC2 8000 kit to review. If all goes well, i may have them on Thursday :)

Here is a review i wrote on core 2 duo performance. I compared it clock/clock with an AM2 3800+ X2. It took some time to do, but i hope you like it :) Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 preview

Maxitmag.com has ordered a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 for me to review. Should be here sometime next week: GIGABYTE - Product - Motherboard - Overview I'll let you know how it goes :) We're still trying to get hold of a P5B Deluxe from ASUS.

Cheers vandal...Unfortunately, I can't keep going :( Reached the limit of my mobo...The chip has ATLEAST another GHz to give...low muti and not enough FSB suck :( Currently the world record for the E6300. That's competing with guys faster than me: HWbot.org - Processor Info.

18.985s - K.I.T.T - Intel E6300ES @ 2877 MHz - Stock cooler - 2 x 1 GB Team Xtreem PC2 5300

Heh...my ES hasn't given me any problems so far. Only wish ASUS would sort out these MoBos :(

ASUS said they were going to send us one, but I'm not 100% certain they will, however, it is very likely that they will end up sending one. They actaully may have sent it already, but the head of maxit mag is on a tour of Europe right now, and has left me incharge of the site...but I have no...

It's not the chip....being an ES will have no affect on the mobo making it play up.....people with pre release steping 5 chips also have the issues. some people who have more than 1 mobo...well they say one of them can't break 400 MHz FSB, wheras the other will prime at 450 MHz, with the same...

I can't tell if there is any real world performance increase..It's maybe 5-10 FPS, but then again, my previous rig at stock was more than capable of handling any game at 1280 x 1024 with 4 x aa and 8 x af, so I can't really tell for sure. And as far as the mobos being buggy, it doesnt seem like...

Yeah Darky, the Team RAM is available over here. Don't know for certain about ABit MoBos, but I'd say around the end of July. At present, I recommend you stay away from the P5W DH Deluxe...it's really buggy...rather than the BIOS, it appears that there are some problems in certain boards. I...

I think the only other MoBo worth trying out is the Intel Bad Axe rev 304. The DFi infinity 975X looks good on paper, but in practice, It's very hard to get over 370 MHz FSB. I'm looking forward to the DFi LanParty RD600 in August....I have big expectations from it. However, by then I think...

400 x 7 fully stable and still 0.1v below default vCore: I need to get it under water ASAP, but i still think I'll run out of FSB on the MoBo before i reach the limit of this chip. The MoBo is good, but it needs a more mature BIOS. The BIOSed currently available are too flaky and unstable.
