ya eh,abit produce lot nice board
but its going to stop produce motherboard
less competitor,hope other manuf. produce lot² mobo for each chipset

i am an abit user.
Abit IP35-P but too bad no profile saving at bios.

usually its the other way around. Less competitor means the remaining few monopolize the market and produce not-so-good stuff. Although I think Intel showed everyone how even giants can fall, but then rise again with double vengeance

yea,i know...i also wanna buy abit x38,but after heard abits wanna exits from produce mobo i change my mind to buy biostar i45..biostar also

hmm, i wonder how much i'll able to OC an E2160 and E2180 if using a stock fan?

edit: i saw most of them able to reach more than 3GHz on stock cooling.

so my question is, which processor is my best bang of buck in buying?most of the results are leaning toward E2160

IMO with (stock) cooling your best bet would be if you can find a E2140 G0 stepping. You should be able to get 1 for RM200, add on a cheap cooler, and 3.4ghz should be yours

But otherwise, yea. Other E2XXX procs are decent as well. Mine did 3ghz with stock cooler, but temps were arnd 70

what other brand can do 450fsb+ for a budget below rm300?
p35 summoreeee

1.57...dats quiet high. is it stable for prime/orthos?
how many hours?

my 2180 can run at 3ghz on stock cooler but the temp is around 70'c max but on some benchtest that i run the performance went up more than half.but now im using hyper 212 and running at 3.2.cant go higher coz im afraid to play with voltage.

but then again, it's quite hard to find a e2140.but i'll try scouting for it.

how bout e2160 (m0) vs e2180 (m0)?it seems e2160 is the better choice right?cooler than e2180 and more OC-able..correct me if im wrong

EX e2160 USER HERE..
for me, d proc serve me well...
3ghz on stock and 3.2 on 1.4++....cant remember edy...
and d temp is really cool...
i tested Assassin Creed for this proc and with 1280*1024 reso, 3ghz can do wonders...
just make sure use low multi and high fsb...
setel...

dis evening gonna get my e5200 not rich enough to get e8xxx

E7200 cheap oso lor....

saje nk jadik batch awal e7200 takut dpt batch x bgs..hehe

dont forget bagitau rezult ko overclock

meaning stock multi, and only up the fsb right?

however i do hope can reach 3Ghz once i get this proc due to budget/value RAMs...

no problem la. im using budget aeneon 667,run my proc at 3.2 and set the divider for the ram to run at 800 no problem at all.its a setting i use everytime.

i think e2160 can push beyond 3ghz with kvr

nope...u can try lower ur multi and add d fsb...
it should work...
but u need to pump moar vcore...

hmm ok. will try it once i get this proc. damn, OC is so tempting~

last time OC duing p4 era. loooonnngg ttiiimmmmeee agoooooo

hmm, this is interesting. using KVR 800mhz here.

erk, more vcore eh?stock vcore cannot?

yes more vcore but not too much.
try .5v at a time.
and what mobo didi u use??
and i suppose u have yet to buy the proc rite....
