  1. I am rapidly losing files


    Recently, I will open a new black Excel spreadsheet or a new doc in Word. I complete what I want to enter in it, save it where I would normally save it and move on. Then a few days later, I go back to open the file, and it is not there. At that point, I begin a search that is totally thorough and find NOTHING related to the file. This has even opened with a very important app I have called "Address Book" that was created originally by Parson Technology that had every person and business I have ever had contact with showing their names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and everythi

  2. What kind of quad.

    I suspect you are at "the edge" of the power rating for the mainboard. Perhaps Q6600 wasnt listed due to TWO versions, C3 stepping at 105W and G0 stepping at 95W. Furthermore, if you OC the G0 Q6600 then it will use more than 95W. Since Q9300 is on a 1333 buss, then perhaps the BIOS doesnt give you scope to OC it, keeping it well withing the 95W envelope.

    My suggestion is, if the mainboard is important to you and you dont want to blow the power regulators or caps, to NOT OC the Q6600. Take the thing out of design spec (by OC'ing it) and you may very well rapidly reduce the half-life of your board.

    Also, as erocker suggests, there are 65W quads out now. I think those are better suited to this mainboard.

    Good luck.
