conroe help...............ok its time

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?

LOL

Yes... We want benchmarks, screens, temps...

If what you claim is true (note I am giving you the benefit of the doubt here ) what exactly is your problem? Do you need advice on how to assemble the system? Or is it something else?

True. I was thinking he might try setting it up and telling us when he runs into problems thogh...

This is going to be an interesting thread... If the lawyers dont find it


I would advise the OP to contact a qualified attorney.

ya know its funny. i have asked this question in a few "expert forums" over the last 24hrs. and the TG forum is the only one where i get smartass comments instead of helpful advice. its a shame that so many people consider this website and its forums to be the best resource for PC tech. when most of the time its just a launching pad for useless flame wars.[/quote]

there are so many bums on this forums, its not even funny. just skip the stupid remarks and use what is elpful. for ex. richpls, prozac, pauldh, wussie, and some others guys on this forum are good. and dont start a war with me if ur name wasnt mentioned, i said "and some other guys..."

Does the Ver.1009 4/14/2006 not support that conroe? It should.

Check your PM box dude. I may be able to help you out.

I would pm FUGGER if i were you

If it is a 1.83 GHz with 2 MB cache then it would've been made on 90nm, and not 65nm, thus clockspeed ceiling will be lower, although the engineering samples should have +63% IPC (clock for clock) than the Pentium M.

If true, I suspect it would support x64....

However, as 'ES6300' is already a part number for a RAID controller...... well..... :?
