    Installed Windows 7 with some programs. The onboard vga I think is even worse than my Riva 2 TNT.

    Dual X5550s!

    Hynix ECC 4x4GB modules, i5520 chipset

    I found out today that the clock chip on the X8DTT-IBX is actually supported by the SetFSB and able to overclock

    I'm building a dual X5660 system with the same X8DTT-F motherboard in the Cooler Master HAF 915R case, how was your experience with the motherboard?
