Re: ASUS Rampage Formula - Intel X48 Chipset
Sorry guys...didnt post fr quite smtime...am admitted in da hospital for viral fever  ...& had a tough time convincing me dad 2 give me his personal laptop for 1 day  ...
@ depolo08: Havent thought of a third party coolin solution yet...mainly because i still havent zeroed in on the Processor...maybe i'll change over 2 Q9450...i think the Thermaltake MaxOrb is a gr8 option if i decide 2 buy 1...
@ ancientrites: Most probably i'll be usin' Windows Vista 64-bit Ultimate Edition SP1 i just went through a few benchmarks comparin Win XP SP2, SP3, Vista, Vista SP1 & found dat Vista SP1 seems 2 be 1 of da best bet for high-end gamin...good performance margin over XP plus the obvious support for DX10 and nw DX10.1 (Assasins Creed)
@ nvidia: I'll try bout the pic of da mobo without the card...but cant make any promises...sorry  ...but there r still many pix of Rampage on the net...

The E8500 wz the initial plan...but finally yesterday when i went 2 me dealer he had 2 offer the Intel Core2Quad Processor Q9450for INR 16,500 + 4%VAT
so i thought i'll b gettin 2x E8500 processors for just INR 4,000 extra...why not go for it...
E8500 - 3.16GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB, 45nm
Q9450 - 2.66GHz, 12MB L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB, 45nm
even though the Q9450 runs at a lower clock-speed its actually equally as overclockable as the E8500...it's actually 2x 8500 dies stuck on eachother... Plus its a more future proof investment...while most games would not b usin more than its 2 cores...the rest 2 cores may be used by windows & other background applications...
