becareful of which CPU u put in the IP-35E. Since Abit is already out of business, that also means that the BIOS support also gone kaput. The latest bios rev.18 does not support E0 steppings, a latest (and should be the last available update) is the bios rev.18 beta that unofficially supports E0 steppings (not available in official website). PM me if you want the bios update. I am using that version.

my next plan is, see whether any of my frend wanna change c2d..
then i sabotage his old P4 mobo

@bai,which proc are you with on your Abit board?
@Alex,sabotage old school mobo is a good idea too.Hehe. I see your signature there WTB car radiator, for what use?

Q6600

MIA for a long time.. Guess everyone in P4 is moving ahead to Win7 huh..

I see many of them are moving to the dark side already. Win 7 still performs rock in P4.

extreme overclock maybe..
i think gonna find motor radiator since it is cheaper

2*1GB Kits Crucial Ballistix 1066mhz Ram
i get myself this ram

Looking for last item

Yo guys,this thread has been silent for many days. I managed to get myself a CM690 with nice price. But i have to wait for the case to bring up to my place.Can't wait to transform my current one to CM690.

i have been away from this side of the forums, concentrating on other things but now free abit

can post related to s478 already

@Jcsy,have any new update on the old school rig?

nope but just that after cleaning my PSU, its making more noises

seriously, the FAN is weird

sometimes, noisy, then quiet.. then noisy again.. damn hard 2 sleep =.=

i should record the sounds

i was wondering for those who have PCI-e on their mobo.
have anyone tried using maybe a GTX 260 Sonic 216 SP on their P4 system?
will it run? whats the performance? does it damage the GC?

U can do that, just make sure your PSU is up to the task. But seriously you are bottlenecking the entire system! Your performance will be hindered heavily by your CPU

You can run any pci-e gc on it, but what's the point of putting a high end gc on an old spec? it will not be able to give out it's best performance, just like putting a brand new ferrari engine into a kapchai chassis. definately the kapchai chassis won't be able to take the speed and power of the ferrari engine rite

just for curiosity purposes though
want to know how much % performance increase does it get and how much is the hardcap. >_>
i was thinking about it years ago if i put high end part into low end setup what will it become. since i will be having my complete new rig soon why not try it out ^ ^

Get a try with GTX295 + P4 EE. You can see the performance.

talking about P4 EE, what's the highest clocked P4 EE around? 3.8GHz?

S478's top clock is at 3.4GHz only. 3.8GHz is LGA775 if i'm not wrong. I have never seen P4 3.6GHz and 3.8GHz in here. These toys are really rare.

and there's s478 P4 4Ghz by fylon, oc'ed of course, hehe
