Few Queries..

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.

Try posting on the hard ware sectioon, not the case/modding section

But I don't think you'd need anything over pc6400 unless you plan to overclock.

If you want case sugestions that's differn't.
