Right, so I'm planning on upgrading my current system (E7200, DDR2, GA-EP35C-DS3R) to an AM3 platform and a Phenom II X6 CPU, but as always I like to check before I buy.
So far I've decided on the 1055T, 4GB of DDR3 (2x2GB) and as for the motherboard I was thinking since I never really bother overclocking I don't see the point in wasting money on a very expensive board, but that doesn't mean I don't care about features - plenty of expansion ports, a decent layout and a good MFR for example are of importance. So after a bit of research I found this one to start with but the 1 usable PCI-E 1x slot (with a dual-slot GPU) is putting me off, so instead I was thinking this one which seems much better equipped. Any thoughts? Also I'm not very familiar with DDR3, what would you say is the 'standard' frequency to go for, i.e. like 6400 was the norm for DDR2?
Thanks!
