    G31 is not supporting Core2Quad but G31PR chipset is supporting Quad Cores but performance is bad!

    G31 should support quad core! I mean, if P965 does, how can G31 not support because the latter is a newer chipset? I think the support is mainly defined by the motherboard maker. Definitely Intel will say you need a highend chipset! But who gives a rat's ass about what Intel says? :P

    For example if you check THIS page out, you'll see many G31 motherboards that support Quad Cores. Not only the Q6xxx Quad Cores (65nm), but Q8xxx and Q9xxx Quad Cores (45nm) as well.

    Machan i want to know what is your OC with your E7200.

    Correction.
    My E7300 cost me only Rs14500.

    And i bought a Samsung 500GB sata(7200) 16M hard disk.
    It cost me Rs9700.Is this over priced?. What do you think?
    Not overpriced.

    I've got to 3.81GHz at 1.3125V. Stable in IntelBurnTest for 1 hour or so. After that it needs serious volts to clock, and it's not worth it.

    E7300 does OC better from what I can recall. 4GHz shouldn't be that hard. But depending on cooling.

    3.2 or 3.4 can be easily archived by then.How did you overclock.By using the multiplier or Ram clock adjustments or any other method?

    Guys!

    My budget is 18K-20K for the CPU



    Aren't people supposed to buy the CPU FIRST and then buy the RAM and the MoBo? :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

    What ever the way people like.
    In this case i was shoping for the lowest price.
    I could not find the cpu i was looking for my price.
    I waited three more days to get the cpu for my price.

    And this is not the first time i upgraded my Pc.So i knew what to do.
