Hey,
I'm about to build a new system since my current is showing it's age..
I'm looking at getting something that will be fairly "future-proof"..
I've read a lot of threads regarding the Q6600 vs E6*** and i've chosen to go quad.
I was looking into getting a gigabyte motherboard with the new P35 chipset.. The ones that grabbed my attentiion were the ones that were DDR2 and DDR3 compatible.. The GA-P35C-DS3R looked a good choice since it had four DDR2 slots and an additional two DDR3 slots so if i did choose to take the step to DDR3 i could..
As for the RAM i was a little confused.. The board supports PC2-8500 but i wondered if i would majorly benefit from having it.. I was looking at the OCZ PC2 8500 Reaper HPC Edition but obviously if i wouldn't majorly gain performance i would drop down to a lower spec..
If anyone can shed some light onto whether the current components above will work well together or whether i'll face any problems i'ld be greatfull..
Thanks,
Iain.
