Are you talking about the full sized board, the EVGA x58 3X SLI? Or why would he go X58 now? EVGA has their ups and downs. But X58 is a ludicrous waste of money now. If you want enthusiast, build X79, if you don't want to spend that much, build 1155. | ||

You know, one that offers a real return policy and a warrenty? On May 10 2012 06:16 Medrea wrote: Processors dont go down in cost ever because they only go with one specific platform. ??? | ||

It does slightly better on some things clock for clock, but when you consider the difference in OCing, forget it. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/100?vs=363 And even if you find a bargain price, it's not going to out-perform a 2600k price/performance. Unless you need hex cores, but even then, you should be looking at X79, since once you get into the extra cores and HT, the extra RAM channels will help a bit. | ||

I have a Windows 7 64 bit Motherboard Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Motherboard Model: P5WD2-Premium Intel Pentium D 3.20GHz (4 CPU's), ~3.2GHz I have 8gb of RAM that i just installed (corsair) I have a Nvidia gtx 560 1024mb that I just installed. If there is any more information you need let me know. The problem I have been having is that I believe I should be running at a much higher fps that I am. I played a 4v4 and in the first 5 minutes I was bouncing around at 15fps-33fps at high settings all around. I don't know what is causing this fps drop as I only have starcraft on. I tried figuring it out myself but I am now pretty stumped as to what is wrong. Halp? | ||

Not sure why you bought 8GB of obsolete RAM. Either that or stick to 1v1's on low settings, but even then your FPS will drop massively because it's still a Pentium D. | ||
