My Cascade is coming! !
 
Well I heard from Cathar and sent the paypal payment.

My Cascade should be here soon.

I've also decided to go over to the dark side this time. The call of the darkside in the form of Canterwood is to much. So a Intell Cascade it is going to be.

Wonder how high I can drive a 3.0 with a Iwaki MD-15 and cascade to cool it along with a heater core that can take 2 120mm fans per side.:D

Question is once I pay for other things needed what sort of GFX & sound cards I'll be able to afford.:eek:

Perhaps I'll do as I saw JayDee suggest in a post, put it on the plastic.

That should be nice.

Thats the spirit! Nothing better than spending money you don't have and never will see! :evilaugh: I have built up a pretty good credit rating though using the card often. :) I just like the option of buying something and then paying it off if I don't want to drop all the cash right now. :cool:

Well I have bad news for all 865/875 motherboard chipset owners, The New cpu known as Presscot is not compatible with these two chipsets as they are, It was mentioned on the HardOCP among other places.:p :p :p Now this for those that don't know It already, If You do, Oh well.:evilaugh: :evilaugh: :evilaugh:

Actually that information is false.

Prescott is indeed compatible with the i865/i875 chipsets, however some motherboard makers may not have designed their boards to the strict Prescott specifications in terms of power regulation and other aspects.

i.e. the issue is not with the chipsets, the issue is on a per-motherboard basis. Prescott design conformance is optional. Some mobo makers may have taken the cheap way out and dropped Prescott compatibility, while others may have kept future upgradability in mind.

If in doubt, check with your mobo maker, rather than randomly issued statements by various people.

Intel themselves say that i865 and i875 is compatible with Prescott in their tech documents.

Then again, what would Intel know? ;)

Ok, I stand corrected, I would hope that any of those 865/875 motherboards out there would support the Prescott cpu. I happen to like the some of the motherboards that are out there with the 865/875 chipsets, In fact the DFI Lan Party motherboard comes to mind, But then I'm in to UV and stuff.:D
