Sam,
Since this is not a quote, who are you posting a reply to? I have no idea because it not directed at someone. I got ragged on for the way I was doing quotes, and I was using names! ROFLMSOAO!!

You have to remember a few things Sammy... Russ is "old", "senile", and "cantankerous" at times.. hehehe. :P
Yes Sammy saw the "inverted commas" as I intended them to be.
@Russ,
And YES the P5Q Deluxe is "lower" priced compared to a Rampage or Maximus.... At least I'd say $100 saved is LESS expensive. :) The mobo that Will was looking at was $150 so NOT much less than $190 really. ;) Anyway just my take on things. :D

I may be "old", "senile", and "cantankerous" at times, but in two posts now, 1 from you and 1 from Sam, I still don't know what the hell either of you is referring to. What the hell is an "inverted Comma"! This is why fights get started around here! I got ragged on pretty good for improper use of quotes, but at least everyone knows who the hell I'm quoting or talking too, and what I'm referring to!
I still don't like the using quote button in the post! It's alright for one post, but if it contains multiple quotes, it gets confusing as hell! From now on I'm doing it My Way, like this post. If anybody doesn't like it, Too Bad, sue me!

FIRST IN LINE TO SUE!!!!11!!!!!!1 ZOMG"2""2!!!!(INVERTED COMMAS)
:P
hahaha
yes my stupid POS Q9550 brokzorz :(
i shall get it RMAed tomorow, and until then ill be using an E2140.
im so surprised the P31-DS3L survived, as to did the antec earthwatts 380W.
brilliant pieces of kit.
at fragsoc (lan) my ASUS (just thought id highlight it :D hehe) P5K-E did the same, with the weird smell etc, and i turned it off asap, but it works a charm, still running my E2140 at 3.2GHz :D
i left that CPU on my maximus II formula for about 1/2hour after i came back from sams, and i didnt get any smell from it. i do however need lower speed ram after i popped in the P4. it wont boot, and onthe LCD poster gives me an error "DET DRAM", which from what i have googled is fixable by booting in with lower speed ram and increacing voltages of the ram and NB.
why is it i have never had a fault with vista 64-bit since july 07 or FF3 or most other software, yet hardware decides to sh!t on me :(

All I see are Exclamation and Quotation marks, neither of which are upside down commas! Yes, I use them a lot! So what? Has any Mod ever complained about it? You don't use proper Capitalization, and the Mods are always complaining about that and have even threatened you with suspension, yet you still don't use proper caps! Do you have a Phobia about the shift key?

my ASUS (just thought id highlight it
Why? Just to be a smart ass and see if you can annoy me or others that happen to prefer a different brand? It was funny the first couple of times, now it's annoying! People have told you that it's annoying, but you never listen! I don't know who's worse, you or Morty! He drops by this thread the other day, for the first time in ages. Does he say "Hi Guys, what's new", or "How's it going". No, he's got to say "memory multipliers :( sure glad I don't have to mess with em (asus). same applies with the fsb straps and memory speed. just highlight the different straps and select the real memory speed value at or just under my memorys rated speed. too easy". I'll bet that raised a groan amongst the troops! In fact I know it did, and you know it does, so why even go there?
You (and Abuzar too) have this innate thing where you always have to be right and that everybody somehow needs to know that you are right, even if you are wrong! Why do you you suppose Creaky said he would prefer that you guys not post here? It's disruptive and counter productive to the forum, and no one is interested in hearing it for the umpteenth time.
I know you are a young guy, and not an old Fart like me, but some day someone needs to explain to me, why youth is wasted on the young! It's youths biggest flaw! Now can we please get back to discussing building PCs instead of all the wise-ass BS?
Thank You,

had the Q6600 at that $179.99 but of couse the Q66 is only 1066fsb stock and the Q93 is 1333fsb stock only thing.ic is better on the Q66 is the max volts 1.5v like a conroe E6750.lol sorry cant afford
Q9450 just yet heck maybe.I'll just wait until after new years went prices will be down even more at the micro center,,,
From what I understand from here and other forums, the Q9300 isn't worth it. The Q9450 is by far the better chip! My personal preference would be the Q9550 if it ever gets the good stepping.

I haven't heard of anyone getting an EO stepping Q9450 but I have heard of several getting a Q9550 EO. The last time I checked there wasn't much if any difference between the prices of the two so at minimum go for the Q9550.

The last time I saw an E0 stepping Q9550 was several months ago when you bought the Q9650! They had 12 at the MicroCenter in Tustin, Ca. I was going to get one for Rob (I think), but they ran out of them so fast, and there haven't been any since that I know of! Intel no longer shows both steppings unless you specifically google the E0 stepping model number. Before if you googled Q9550, they showed both!

Russ

Truth is I've never seen a Q9550 EO stepping and I'm not even certain that they exist, but I have heard of some having claimed to having purchased one. That being said it doesn't really matter since the Q9450 and Q9550 sell for almost the same price, and the Q9550 has a higher clock multiplier which still makes it my recommendation.

I've seen one Physically! Belongs to an MD I know who bought it from MicroCenter. The Intel page for it is just about nonexistent, and it takes a bit of crafty hunting just to find. This is from Intel!

Russ
OK... last post for me on this and for quite some time.. it's frikkin ridiculous and on OT BS to boot!!!!
Sorry if we were trying to add some humor!!! It won't happen again in this thread from me. So there you go!!!
Read the quote from me... it says "inverted COMMAS"!!! NOT one frikkin comma but TWO of them!!! So that would make it look like ["].... NOT [']. Explanation over. tyvm. ;)
If you guys have NEVER noticed I normally DON'T recommend one thing over the other. I like to give a choice when it comes to choosing a product. Whether it's a mobo, cpu, psu, case, RAM, oh you get the idea. I say pick what you like and what fits!!! If that's an ASUS, DFI, Biostar, GB, MSI, or whatever mobo you like. I will NOT choose one for you and I don't expect you want me too. I'll NOT push one product over another either, as they DON'T pay me to do so. I've had very good luck with DFI, ASUS, and GB. I had to send in an ASUS Striker Extreme but in ASUS's defense I bought the mobo used. Who knows what happened to it before I got it. ASUS asked NO questions just that I send the mobo to them and they would fix it or give me another mobo, that's it in a nutshell. :D
So as one of my friends said here once, "the thread may continue"!!!!
Have fun and enjoy YOUR thread!!

You know what! This just hasn't been my week! First I'm trying to help mrk44 solve a simple problem with his memory dividers, and up pops Morty with his little smart ass Asus digs about dividers. Then Spamual has to get into the act with more of the same Asus crap. Along comes Sam answering a post with no quote that I didn't write, greensman did, but Sam says it's my post so I go back and look and find nothing written by me to indicate what the hell he's talking about and then greensman replies, "You have to remember a few things Sammy... Russ is "old", "senile", and "cantankerous" at times.. hehehe. :P"! I fire back with a little humor of my own suddenly now it's off topic. I guess it's all right to be humorous as long as the one being made fun of is some Old, Senile and Cantankerous person like me! Here's a helpful hint! I may be old and I can be cantankerous, but I'm not Senile!
This isn't a thread, it's a frikkin Zoo! I've had it! Now I understand fully why LOCO won't come near this thread. I'm tired of hearing "a Russ Moment", or "a Senior Moment"! I'm tired of all the sniping all the time. This wasn't what I joined AD for. It's also not a shadow of what it was like when I joined back in 05. The biggest difference today is the level of respect. Back then we might not all have agreed on something, but we respected other peoples opinions. Most of all we listened and learned from each other. Here, some people go out of their way to make trouble where there's no reason or need for it. And please don't say that it isn't true, because there's no other plausible reason for all the smart remarks! This thread has lost some of the best talent on the internet because of all this bullsh!t. It's a damn soap opera and I no longer want any part of it. I'm un-checking the little boxes at the bottom of the page so I won't get e-mail notifications. If anyone has anything they want to say, PM me! I'll still contribute to other threads at AD, but I'm not coming back here ever again. To the people who look to me for help or advice here, I'm sorry, but that's the way it has to be! You know where to find me!
Sincerely,
Russ

This is my CPU, including a shot of the aD page to show I haven't just stolen it ;-)
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/5505/q9550ao4.jpg
I saw someone advertising specifically an E0 stepping, with photographic proof of the box for it being the right stepping , I forget which five letters it as now.
As far as Russ goes, there hasn't been a single joke on either of these two pages at your expense.
Here's what I meant:
Gm writes: "I'd stick with the P5Q Deluxe or Premium for the -> Inverted commas are here "lower" <----- priced mobos"
Sorry, perhaps I should have called them speech or quote marks, but it's not really a quote...
You write: How do you figure that a $190 P5Q Deluxe motherboard is lower priced? LOL!! Compared to what, a Maximus Formula?
I write (in response to your post): Pretty much, hence the inverted commas... lol
As far as I see it Spamual's post had nothing to do with your sometimes over-use of the lol acronyms, it's a joke that just generally gets spread around, using exclamation marks and ones, typically by gamers, so you may not have encountered it, and understand it's real meaning (Don't ask, it really doesn't mean much)

cincyrob: I was gonna put an AD-7200S in there, but at the time, newegg apparently didn't have it in stock, but now they do, so that's what i'll be getting :)
The Corsair mem is only 5 bucks more and it's already at 1066 and everything so i'll just stick w/ those.
About the HDD: I have a seagate drive right now, and it's really loud. And the WD Caviar Black is supposedly a lot faster anyway.
Thanks for the suggestions!
bigwill: I was gonna get a cooler master stack 810 for the case. Either that or a cooler master HAF932 like mine.
Has anyone else had trouble posting today?

Call her and ask for the password. If you bought it legitimately then she should have no issues giving it to you. ;)
