Motherboard: GA-P965-DS3
RAM: DDR2-667
FSB:RAM 1:1

To increase the processor speed from 1860 to 2400 MHz, there will be a need to increase the FSB from 266 to 343 MHz.
The problem is I do not know how much to increase the voltage to the processor by? Is there a need to cause the overclocking is not really by a lot.
I will need to overclock the RAM too from 200 MHz to 343 MHz. How do I go about doing this? How much voltage should I add?
DDR2-667 is it enough to pull this off or must I get at least DDR2-800?

Thanks.

basically, im a bit confused, if you compair these two models which one will give me better performance when making tracks on programs like ableton live and cubase etc..

1.Intel Pentium 4 660, 3.6GHz 2MB Cache 800Mhz LGA775

or

2.Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 2.93GHz LGA775 Processor

Im making a new computer and cant decide which, im fed up with my existing computer blipping and generally struggling to cope with what i want to do with it.

Is the new duo core better than the single yet or is it in its early stages? if so is it worth while buying the single core for the fraction of the price and wait till the duo gets faster?

This is somthing that has really been nigling at me as i dont want to waste my wonga!!

Thanks

How will it be better than any AMD or Intel Processor so far made. It is said to give 40% more efficiency than any other processors. Will it be really that good for gaming compared to other processors. What about the hardwares- Graphic card and all, will they too work that efficiently on the new systemboard. How can Intel suddenly come up with such a processor. Are they adopting the policy used by AMD(run at true clock speed.). What will be the clockspeed at which the Core2 Extreme will run, its FSB, and all that details.Will it be good for video editing and stuffs like that. Will the new AMD Quad Processor due to release this November outperform even Core2 Extreme. Will Core2 Extreme support overclocking and if yes, how much in percentage ratio.

I have an AMD Duron 750 MHz which I overclocked to about 923 MHz, 256MB SDRAM, 266MHz FSB.
Before oveclocking my CPU, I converted videos, played games and music of course; I experienced that my processor is just awesome for games.
But when it comes 2 music or editing videos, my processor is just too slow. The videos I converted from my my DVD are just awful (I know I have used the correct software and I have tried as many formats), they hang every second. I know my PC does't have a virus or something. Even when it comes 2 playing music, my computer is sometimes too slow. Will overclocking be helpful? (Already done but right now I am using Linux only temporarily)
I am planning 2 buy a whole new PC. I have looked everywhere on the net and AMD processors show better benchmarks than Intel and are cheaper too.
I am afraid on what 2 buy coz if I buy AMD Athlon 4800+ will it give me the same problem as I have now with Duron.
I play high-end games, lots of video editing and music. PS HELP!

Hello! everyone, i will be buying this video card used and it has two notches at the terminal of the card, instead of having one notch at the terminal like most pci cards, i ask the guy that selling it, if he knew if it was for a PCI slot or AGP slot and he didn't know, Does some PCI video cards have two notches at the terminal? Thanks and God Bless!

I have a Sony VAIO DVD writer model # PCGA-DDRW1. It has an external power adapter. I want to connect this to my TV to watch DVD movies without a PC. I know I can connect to TV by using a TV tuner card in PC but I want to eliminate the PC in this situation.
