Message: [QUOTE="Pennywise, post: 14100015"] No, nothing comes close to using half of 6 gigs. I just buy the ram that's on sale or in stock at the time. Ticks me off when I get a "system is getting low on memory" warnings :) Thanks, really wasn't sure, thought there might of been a slight decrease. Well there is a 23x multiplier on the 950 as opposed to the 21x on the 930. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_i7_microprocessors#.22Bloomfield.22_.2845_nm.29[/URL] But ya, they're the same chip. Been there, I'm running 2Ghz over default speed right now with a 70°c shutdown temp that I've never hit. The end of the year! Who's got that kind of time :) 's how I ended up with 12 Gigs of ram. I looked at the current Sandy Bridge, other than onboard graphics nothing else really impressed me. While I would prefer the pins on the CPU, spring loaded "shaft" contacts would be nice. I really don't care for the LGA1366 socket setup. I feel the sockets could be the reason for some of the memory detection issues with the X58's. This isn't mine, someone else posted it; but shows the problem with the socket, others have reported burnt "pins" [URL]http://i25.tinypic.com/28jb5g5.jpg[/URL] The LGA2011 looks to be made the same way. I just may keep the 930 in place just because of the socket. Thanks for the reply. [/QUOTE]
