    I think you're crazy:eek:

    Most games cant even utilize Dual core CPUs and you want to use 2 of them????

    Im not sure if that motherboard even has overclocking options, and it uses slower ECC ram..........

    And I think both CPUs have to be the same clock speeds.................

    I would get a nice AM2 motherboard a X2 5000 and a X1900XTX and 2gigs of G skill ram, it would cost less and perform better in games.......

    Why do you have your heart set on spending so much money????:eek: :D

    If you are going to Ooverclock, go for a X2 4400 or a 4800 or a 5000....

    They are a lot cheaper than the FX-62 and should reach 2.8ghz easily.......

    And COnroe wont be available until September because DELL and HP will be greedy:mad:

    Any ideas on these parts, Overclocking, etc...?

    Gaming is the use for this of course.


    For a gaming system no way.
    However if u wanna go multiprocessor build a quad 875system thatll give u 8 cores!!

    But gaming system go for a conroe in a few weeks with a badaxe board and some nice ram.

    They used to suck. BadAxe is kicking ass.
    All the peeps that are OCing Merom and conroe at the moment are using them or the unavailable asus board.
