I have an E6600 core 2 duo processor at 2.4GHz stock with an Asus P5B - Deluxe motherboard. I was wondering if I could overclock it even though I have 533 DDR2 RAM and won't get a 2:1 ratio between RAM and FSB speed (stock 266MHz). Multipliers for from 6-9 (stock 9) so it's unlocked downward, but I can't go higher than 9. Help me out please.

My processor runs at 1.79ghz. I understand this is probably some kind of motherboard limitation, but I would like someone to explain this to me. I ask because I want to buy a new motherboard that will run it at full speed, but I don't know what to look for. I believe it is a socket 478? FSB 400mhz? Any help?

I'm thinking about buying a mobo for my AMD Athlon X2 Socket AM2 CPU. Would the following mobo be suitable? This is my first build.

What does the SLI mean? I'm not a gamer if that's what it's for. I'll be doing video editing and burning of family vhs and 8mm tapes.

And, I need fireWire (IEEE 1394) since my "ADS Pyro A/V Link" connects to the computer that way.

What do you think about this mobo for my CPU:

MSI K9N SLI Platinum Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

I am wanting to have a computer built, mainly for graphic intense games, to be able to play most all of the newer games would be nice (exam neverwinter nights2, oblivion etc) at decent settings with little lag (play multiplayer alot). I have been doing my best to save but have had a rough time lately. The other hardware I can pretty much figure out but the main processor/video/motherboard I am needing help. Some things that may help to know... I am a AMD fan, of the current graphic cards leaning toward Radeon x's, or gforce, From what I have read I like the duel core, and I want a computer that will last me a few years, so upgradeability is a MUST, I cannot emphasize that enough, I cannot afford to go out and buy a computer every year or two. I have researched a decent amount of time, and figured I would try here because I can list my individual needs/wants. Thank you for your time in reading my question I look forward to seeing your response! =)

How can i tell if my computer will work with this card reader? http://www.newegg.com/product/product.as... my computer only has a 1.1 usb so i'm not sure if it will work. i dont want to buy the wrong one, so can anyone double check for me? what does my computer need to have in order for this to work?

when i open it up, i see a 2x5 header. it only has 9 pins though. my mobo model is http://support.intel.com/support/motherb... if i'm correct, on the 2nd to last picture, there is a picture of the connectors and i think its the B one.

someone noted that i needed to have 2 of these in order for this card reader to work. Does anyone know if only that will work? thank you
