    Specs seem good on what you have listed, yes Core2Duo's are really good, I have an E6700 and love it.

    So will you be using your old Corsair XMS2 ram too on this ?


    Also what is your OLD HSF, just to guage compatabiltiy with cooling of the Core2duo?

    yes i will use the ram. on the new too. and some i took out of it to make place for the corsair. i have 2x 512 mb no name (M) DDR2, but they are PC2-4200

    and i belive that my corsair is 6400 so wouldent it slow the corsair down ?


    what is HSF ??

    Having just set a similar system up, I would keep with the corsair, don't mix memory.- it will run at the slower speed.

    I found the old heatsink, or, stock heatsinks run a bit hot.
