    that's odd. i just opened up everest ultimate. and it shows mine correctly as an e8400 at (9 x 450). does cpu-z identify it correctly? do you have the latest version of everest?

    ASUS Maximus Formula @ [H]

    yeah i'd ditch the supreme fx anyway. if you look up reviews on the maximus formula and where they did testing on the sound. it didnt do too well. i got the xi-fi xtreme fatality pro myself. good luck with your system!

    Is a WD Raptor drive worth the cost?

    so the only real advantage the raptors still have is seek time which would affect game loading and windows loading times correct? can anyone comment on how a couple of raptor 150's would do in raid-0 in terms of seek time and file transfer compared to 1 raptor and also compared to a couple...
