E2140 by far, if the mobo can handle a high enough FSB due to the 8x multi. 3.2GHz @ $75. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c371/bail_w/3-3.jpg I paid $10 more for a E2160 and bought a $50 mobo to OC to ~2.5GHz or maybe a little higher. -- Phil >> Stay informed about: Which Gigabyte For C2D?

Thanks, Phil How about a good MB to go with that? I need a serial port and a parallel port, believe it or not! That's why I'm looking at the gigabytes. thx bob "Phil" wrote in message > Bob Johnson wrote: >> What's good GB board that isn't too expensive that has SS caps and is >> a good OC'er? >> >> Also, what's the latest bang for buck C2D chip? > > E2140 by far, if the mobo can handle a high enough FSB due to the 8x > multi. 3.2GHz @ $75. > > http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c371/bail_w/3-3.jpg > > I paid $10 more for a E2160 and bought a $50 mobo to OC to ~2.5GHz or > maybe a little higher. > > -- > Phil > >> Stay informed about: Which Gigabyte For C2D?

Read "Cheapo 2D Core Duo OC build" about three threads below this one. I'll be getting it tomorrow and I'll let you know what I find out.

Quick reference mobo list: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010200280...7050990 Notice that all of the lowest-end (yet high value) mobos have serial and parallel ports, but you'll have to do some legwork to find out if they can OC. Chances are pretty good that you won't find any with any decent OC controls in the price range that serial and parallel ports appear because OCers are looking for cheap higher performance, which gets away from serial/parallel peripherals. USB has been out for ages, so I'm guessing that you are either a scientist or an electrical engineer doing projects. Or you just have old peripherals that work just fine and you want to keep them. -- Phil "Bob Johnson" wrote in message > Thanks, Phil > > How about a good MB to go with that?

Actually, I'm a pool guy that still uses a great little DOS program for billing that only works with a parallel port. Luckily, my HP laserjet has a parallel port! bob "Phil" wrote in message > Quick reference mobo list: > > http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010200280...7050990 > > Notice that all of the lowest-end (yet high value) mobos have serial and > parallel ports, but you'll have to do some legwork to find out if they can > OC.
