QUOTE (Shub0xx @ Jul 18 2011, 04:00 PM)  Am curious. Do I go and build something along the lines of this.... http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/produc...oducts_id=51348Or do I wait for new socket 2011? I think it may be better to wait a few months. From what i've heard you will need a new compatible motherboard when you buy the new chipset. If your desperate then do it.

Wait if you want to pay premium dollars for the latest gear, I'm running with the 2600k upgrade now will do me a few years. There is always something new around the corner.

Starting buying for upgrade yesterday. 2 x 64gb ssd and 4 x 2tb. Getting the rest next week. still trying to decide what case to get. I like the Armor+ cases, but they are too big for the space I currently have.
I was looking at the Tt Chaser Mk 1, but am happy to take on suggestions. I'm looking for a minimum of 5 visible bays, at least 5 hidden, with support for ssd mounting, and room to fit a gtx 570.

Now I'm really pissed. I get all my parts home and start setting things up. Usually I test things before I put them into my case, but because I had a new case this time, I jumped ahead and put everything in before testing.
The good thing about the Maximus IV Extreme Z is it gives you debug codes on the board. The bad thing in my case is it's telling me that it's not detecting memory. I tried older RAM modules from my current build, with the same result.
2 days old, and already the board is RMA. Well it will be once I finally get a hold of someone in tech support at centrecom tomorrow.

Have you tried:
1- Testing the RAM in a different motherboard?
2- Trying just a single stick of RAM?

Honestly I think you should build something better than that, if you're planning to just game, only get around 6GB because you won't really need 8GB+ unless you are hosting servers

VM's will run sufficiently with around 256MB RAM and 2x1.4GB HDD's. Just thought I'd give my 2 cents (I am a professional after all). |

What kinds of VM's u gonna run? MS server 08/11, ESXi to manage them? or just general VM's of workstations' EG: Mac, windows, linux? |

Definitely a few 08 servers, a couple win 7 installs, the rest I don't know yet. Only using 1 of the 2tb drives for vm's, the rest for storage and games.
