w00t. Hope it brings hours of enjoyment

Nice rig , good move going with the quad core ! Hope you enjoy tonight mate , it should be better than your average eve

I'll be expecting to see you online in the new year then .. if we ever get internet back.. I am getting inet DT's.

Very nice rig for the price, its tempting me to go quad core now... but i must resist....

Hope the Quad core works ok on that mobo

Ive not seen you online since the BF2 days Re0 old buddy.

all i play is TF2 tbh - although I have Crysis and COD4 waiting for my new Pc

I think the only thing i really saved money on is the mobo and i'm yet to buy a monitor, ill be sure to order a 22" one soon enough tho.

I hope I don't get no probs with it, for the cash I think i've done quite good. Seeing as i gave my myself a £600 pound marker.

gunna order this keyboard - as much as I want a G15 ill never pay £60 odd quid for a keyboard


just seen THIS set up on overclockers - not a great deal of difference to mine

Mobo supports.... Pentium 4, Celeron D, Pentium Extreme Edition, Pentium D, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme

Doesn't mention Core 2 Quad? Might still work, but P965 is an OLD chipset so I don't know tbh.

nutt-sacks, the mobo is already in the road.

i guess ill have to get this mobo bit gay - its an extra £50

or is this one just as good?

Hey Shag, ive just ordered that keyboard

It says on ebuyer it supports quad core, but doesnt list core 2 quad in the compatible processors. I reckon you should be ok tbh. I have an asus p5k and im sure i remember it supporting quad core.

Just ordered this mobo its an extra 30 pound but id rather be sure than have all this debate.. well actually it cost nearly £40 more what with postage as its a whole new order.



seems a better board tho tbh.
