November 11 update

Hi, my old 6 month old motherboard took a turn for the bad, so I sent only it back to new egg, after getting a new Gigabyto p35-ds3l MB.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh the New Board
Much better to overclock and very dynamic. PS New Egg refunded me the whole 152$ , even though no box, no this that and they must just love my business.
Actually got me 2 of these things so I am somewhat on the high horsepower side of things

The new MB
q6600 overclocked easily to 9 x 333 (25%) and seems to run a 9x 360 even 380 . At 400 (50%) for a while before she crashes, probably needs a tad more voltage, nothing I am that excited about.
A big thermalake 120 mm fan keeps it cool . On this build I have 3 regular 80 mm fans blowing right at the MB and a little pretty memory fans . So I do keep the SB and NB along wioth video card and such cooler.

Maybe i'll stick a picture of this in this blog.

OKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Its getting to be winter and house fixes have been accomplished. That is to say known major things are appearing OK.
Faucets, hot water heating problems, thermostats, 1 AC bit the dust, I fixed 1other- electrical luckily.

And Diana is so to say proceeding along.

I am nearing that " See You Later " phase at Invensys- Foxboro and will be cutting more hours .

the 4 gigs of much cheaper pc2-6400 (800) seems to hum right along at 1000 with volt up .1 volt. She does not get too hot . It sure pumps out the test numbers and Vista is fine on it.
