LO all
John from Boston - the original - in Lincolnshire here.
Having always had a couple of years old hardware standard I have invested in all the new bits for a C2D based system which I'll be building next week (RAM was late...), having been on Athlon systems and home-brew since I upgraded my first 'modern' PC, a P166MMX several years ago (though I started with a ZX81 long, long ago....)
I've been reading the C2D and P5K overclocking guides as that's what I'll be doing next week with an E6850 and P5K-E WiFi AP + 2x1Gb OCZ Reaper HPC PC8500 - couldn't find any XMS2 of the same speed anywhere.
Hope to be able to contribute.
