Hi Guys, I appreciate your input on this thread.

Please take a look at this....Gigabyte's GA-965P-DQ6 (rev. 3.3)

GIGABYTE - Product - Motherboard - Overview

At Amazon for $112....< I think? >

Where is the catch? I was hoping someone would mention this board. Why not? What's wrong with it? I know I do not know what I'm looking at, which why I posted this thread in the first place. Is this a case of Gigabyte having better Marketeers? None of the other manufactures seem to have all these features.

This reminds me of the saying, "If it is to good to be true, it probably is."

All of this for $112, what am I not seeing...............?

Thanks guys,

I've bite the bullet.
I'm going with the GIGABYTE GA-965P-DQ6 (rev. 3.3).
I'll have it in 24 hours.

Wish me luck...

It's done..You can put this thread to bed.
I replaced the motherboard, the power supply, and the
chassis. Then, we reformated the HDD and reinstall Vista, because of
HAL...(Thank you very much, HAL...Not at all, Dave.) It only cost me $350
and the tech through in his service for free.

Get this...WEI ...

My HHD is at 5.5
The Graphics is at 5.9 with Gaming graphics at 5.4
The Memory (2G) is at 5.9

And get this, the Processor (2 Pentium D) is at 4.8...Da!

I understand that the WEI is based on the Quads (not fair!) But, what does it take to get a respectful score for a Precessor?

merlin

Some good overclocking...

Here is a good site to test your cpu against some superoverclockers like myself. Although you will blow away my score with that C2D.

Test Results Summary My socres highly overcloked..But my Hard drive scores keep me up in the game!

Welcome to PC PitStop!

this will get you a better look at where it is supposed to be
