one thing for sure the price for 5200 AMD has already been slashed by RM200-RM250 if i am not mistaken. its now RM600. It was <>RM900 a while ago

are you sure that 5200 is sellling at rm200 now?? where??

he said slashed by 200-250..not that the processor cost 200-250..

how come Q6700 and Q6600 realase at sama price?

If quad core cheap, wan to buy also need to change mobo la...
unless u're using gigabyte DQ6 la or the asus Commando lol...

no need to change mobo, almost all current mobo can support c2q, maybe need to update bios for stabality...

Q6600 release on April, n when Q6700 release (on august), Q6600 will be $266

huh quad core no need to change mobo ? then wad's the point DQ6 emphasize on his QUAD CORE ready leh?

Good, looks like my next upgrade will be C2Q 6600

AMD need to revise their price again soon

E4400 seems nice for now, can push this baby kao2, later in August, can change to Q6600, $256~RM931

in DQ6 everythings are quad, bios, heatsink, and bla... including quad core... it the way to atract buyer to buy the mobo when it enter the market at the first, "FISRT MOBO SUPPORT QUAD CORE PROCESSOR"

Quad core ready mobo list
seem tat there r only some of them

bro fro the list it shows how many mobo cabale to support c2q ? at almost all mobo which are available in marjet now

Yay..most 965 based mobo now has sticker show it support C2Q

Great price slash but still amd procs+mobo combo is cheaper than its intel counterparts. So for those that not oc'ing and only run their system at stock speed AMD is a better choice.

Almost all 965 chipset mobo can support quad-core, not only those high-end mobo like Commando or DQ6. Gigabyte DS3, DS4, Asus P5B, Biostar Tforce 965PT, Abit AB9 also can support!

E4400 is it worth it? How about the performance? Is it better to get E6 instead?

on stock, it will lose, but not to worry, you can overclock it back XD
And of course it is worth it

Added on April 19, 2007, 10:14 pm2GB RAM = better Vista is a myth. Vista have a better RAM management than XP, and as many Vista users have tested, there are no difference in speed when using 1GB or 2GB. Kinda like having two 1 litre fridge where you fill one with 60% capacity and one with 20% capacity. Waste of space or in this case resources
