how PC shops deal with old batch of stocks then? If all of them have to cut prices, what if they still got old stocks havent let go yet ? sure rugi teruk wor

I hope that GC price will drop as much as a CPU does.

haih... computer hardware kinda things
btw, why that Q6600 is almost 50% of that QX6700?

rm100 processor will getting more powerful
lets say with athlon3000 at rm100, pair with 8500gt for rm300, with some cheap mobos and RAM, whoa.. HTPC is the future if only we can get better torrent speed

aiks... amd o' amd... i disappointed in u lar

option1: buy a cheapo used pentium D from garage sales to serve u for 22 days, then buy the quad core
option2: buy e6600, and wait one day where quad core will be in rm500s range

yup... it can be said so...

Intel FSB is quad-pumped, means 266 x 4 = 1066 Million transfers per second, thats how the FSB is derived. To determine RAM clock, multiply the base FSB by 2, eg: 266*2 = 533 MHz, which means that at 1066 MT/S, the maximum RAM clock can be supported is DDR2-533 MHz

however there might be RAM ratio like those seen in AMD's RAM divider, to make RAM work at different speed than processor, not sure how this implemented in intel

it will drop, because its using LGA775, which is still adopted by Intel newer proc.

its not like those s939 now...

IINM, u ll need a newer mobo chipset that can support 1333 mhz FSB, then only u can fully utilize the faster FSB.

the newer series are not just factory OC'ed. But they support that FSB natively, and by 1333 FSB means that 667mhz DDR2 can now work at 1:1 ratio

I think all those future mobo will have at least 1333 mhz of FSB, so everything is begin from there, therefore u can OC beyond 1333mhz, but u ll need higher speed RAM like DDR2 800 then

btw, do the FSB 1333 proc work perfectly on older 1066 mobo?
