Wouldn't a link to the wiki (and encouraging people to write stuff in the wiki ) be a better way of doing this?

The wiki would be great for stuff like this, but no fucker really knows about it or uses it.

I'll probably mirror the content into the wiki once we have some progress here.

This hard!

The Wiki could be bloody useful if we could find a way of integrating it into the site more - as it is we all forget about it and it gets neglected.

Nice work - interesting about the RAMsinks - they always seem to show them in the pictures, but rarely come with the memory when you buy it.

deject's CPU guide may need updating with some of the new chipset info - I think some 775s don't support the Core Duos, but I could be wrong.

I'll add some details in about areas I have some knowledge in sometime, although some of it might be better as just a link for people actually interested to click, with just a do/don't bother guide in the main text.

DDR is used in a 775 board. http://www.asrock.com/product/775Dual-VSTA.htm
