Perfect Board

DFI LP DK X48-T2RSB PLUS LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard
DFI LP DK X48-T2RSB PLUS LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Got this motherboard almost a year ago (2/12/2009) has been running stable since, for a x48 motherboard in this price range it overclocks almost like a P45, FSB wall is at about 464 for me. I was able to push my Q6600 to 3.6GHz 1.35V stable and, my RAM to 1200MHz 2.2V for 24/7 operation, and it runs flawlessly couldn't ask for more in the price this Board was at the time of purchase.

Cons: I did have some problems when I first bought this Board, Like C1 error for no reason and some memory problems. I tried a few different memory kits but same problem and they occurred at random times at boot up on random days, but the problem stopped happening after awhile and they never came back,

Overall Review: Q6600 @ 3.6GHz 4GB OCZ Reaper DDR2-8400 @1200MHz Corsair TX850W 850W PSU 2x HIS ATi Radeon HD 4850 in CrossfireX Western Digital Green 1TB Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB Pioneer IDE DVD burner Xigmatek HDT-1283 With bolt-thru kit

Decent

Pros: Cheap wireless G solution for desktops.

Cons: Signal is not all that great I get 3-4 bars with the router sitting about 7 feet away from the system, the linksys card that this replaced was far more powerful than this.

Overall Review: For the price I give it 5 eggs it does it's job and the disk came with 64-bit drivers so that was a plus, even though I usually go to the main site for latest drivers.

Died after a month

Pros: Range is perfect and was faster than my last PCI Wireless G card. USB makes it so I can put it anywhere and not, have a big antenna sticking out the back of my case. Vista 64 driver on the disk.

Cons: Died after a month would not power on.

Overall Review: It was a good device while it lasted better than any other PCI, USB I have ever, had in the process of RMA.

Q6600

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W None Integrated Graphics Processor - BX80562Q6600
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W None Integrated Graphics Processor - BX80562Q6600

Pros: This is the first quad core CPU I have had and it overclocks extremely good I got 3.6GHz on air and getting some good temps very fast and pretty cheap I guess price is going up now, Intel did say that they are phasing these out so getting while they last.

Cons: ZIP, ZERO, NADA

Overall Review: I hate people who say socket 775 is dead, yes it is true that the i7's and i5's are going to replace the Core 2's but the prices for the socket 1366 motherboards, DDR3, and the i7's them selves are very expensive right now and yes I know prices will go down but it will take months before that happens. So right now it will be a good while before Intel kills the socket 775 platform and prices for them are very low.
