Looking towards some new memory soon as I will be be donating mine to my daughters machine.
I have already decided on Corsair and bought the Dominator Airflow Fan already just to prove too myself that that is the one for me.
The question is which one will give me the best all-round performance and gain as I'm yet still to decide how I'm going to run machine as the build is still ongoing.
Thoughts:
1. run the Q6600 at stock
2. pump up the Q6600 to 3.0GHz (no need to go wild)
3. give the Q6600 to my daughter and get a Q9450 and run at stock
4. get a Q9450 and slightly OC
Was going to get a 3870x2 but may now wait for the 4000 series in June/July.
Memory choices: I'll be getting 4GB in total:
1. PC2-6400 XMS2
2. PC2-8500 Dominator
3.Quad PC2-8500 Dominator
TIA
