so i have been lurking here for a while trying to gather info on conroe and i'm at wits end.........so it's time to give you my full story.
lets say i'm a moderatley informed PC novice. i make no claims to be a hardware expert, however i'm in a postion of a lifetime.
i don't want to give exact details.....but.......i was given (by a intel insider friend) what will be known as a ES6300, 1.83ghz/1066FSB/2MB conroe test chip and a intel 975"badaxe" mobo. this friend is not in a postion to help get it up and running, because he/she was not supposed to have either the chip or mobo in the first place.
i would kill to get this beast running but i'm too intimidated to do it alone. so if anyone is willing to help via this forum or perhaps in person i would be grateful.
questions, comments and advice?
