Its from my very first build a core 2 quad q6600...I got a giggle out of it and thought maybe y'all would too lol

[miyabwah]

The G31 was an awful chipset, but I still love LGA775 :wub:

LGA 775....I rocked that socket for years!

I initially had an Asus g45 board but about 6 months after I bought it I disassembled my PC and broke the mobo and then purchased this one

Because unlike the Haswell junk rammed down our throats by intel, LGA775 was an awesome platfrom that served everything from sinlge core celerons and 130W Pentium Ds all the way up to Core 2 Quad Extremes

I love reading old reviews of chips that were the ishh a few years ago.This is a review of the C2D e8400....technology evolves so quickly haha

Just look at that beast of a system!

A review from the GA-EP45-UD3P:

from my first build

[Cwazywazy]

I'm 14 and my first desktop was a Pentium 3 with 256MB RAM.. I got it for free from my grandpa. Came with Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 in the disk drive which I played for a looong time until I cracked the disk. Windows 2000. That was when I was 6 or 7 and my dad had just built his awesome new computer which had a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo and a Geforce 7600GS. (Which I got when he upgraded to a Phenom II system.)

 

I only had an LGA 775 system for a little while before I bent the pins on the motherboard.. My whole life I've had computers with the pins on the CPU. I had a P4 3GHz socket 478 system for almost 5 years..

my first build was a test build with a pentium 1 that i bought for 10 euro's back then
installed windows xp on it (took 8 hours to install it and lagged like crazy with 256mb

Don't think I've ever owned an Intel CPU. The Athlon x2 6000+ at the time served me very well for years.

 

If AMD drops the AM3+, I might as well if they ditch the high end market.

My plan is to stay on LGA 775 (i'll upgrade to a Core 2 Quad in a year or so) until Intel releases 8 core mainstream CPU's or moves away from the Core i- branding.

I would still be using LGA775, but my entire system exploded forcing me to build a new system. Because I hate the new intel, I decided to give AMD my money and I am quite pleased, but I'm still quite sad that I'm not using LGA775.

 

My beast system from back in the day:

QX9650

EVGA 790i digital

GTX 465 3-way SLI

G. Skill 8GB 1066

and this stupid POS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341006 took out my entire system except for one 465

 

I would recommend a better mobo for a Core 2 Quad so you can overclock it

Got system at moms running AMD Athlon 64 something 2.2GHz and S939 AsRock mobo with both AGP and PCIe slots.
