Decided to go to the dark side.....
The day Exteel Philippine Server decided to open is the day my second motherboard (Third technically) decided to say goodbye.
Since Imma gonna try the Core2Duos and their OC capabilites, I bought one of the cheapest mobos out there for testing. (AsRock 945GCM-S + a Pentium Dual Core E5200.)
Since the ECS mobo is still under warranty I'm turning it in for repairs.
Then I'll be selling the Athlon64 5600 X2 + ECS 780G.
Seems my hunches are right, at stock the Core2Duos are standard at best... But when overclocking is used..... I'm in 2.7Ghz and it's now almost as fast as my old Athlon64 5600 @ 3.2Ghz at PCSX2. About a 20% difference.....
Gonna try the BSEL mod when I have the time. Or greed.
