Hello again
I have upgraded my Alienware desktop processor with an Intel Core i7 Extreme 990 and computer seems to be running fine but somehow I got the feeling it isn't running properly.
For example it seems to lag with just about everything I do from opening my internet browser, playing games or just running Word.
Just for testing, I changed it back to my original processor (core i7 920) to make sure I didn't misplace a wire and do any damage and it runs just as always, no lag or anything.
I think there might be some compatibility issues with my MotherBoard or it might be something I overlooked since I'm not really an expert on all this.
My specs
Alienware Aurora
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU x 990 3,47GHz 12 CPUs
MB: Alienware 04VWF2 A02 chipset X58
BIOS: Alienware version A11
Memory DDR3 6144MB
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB + ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB Crossfire
*Note* I didn't install the fan that came with the processor because I believe the original fan that came with my desktop would be just fine.
