I am building a PC for a friend and am going for a low/mid Conroe-based system, probably a E6300 or E6400. He is not really into overclocking so I guess 1Gb of PC5300 will be fine (correct me if I'm wrong here).
My real question is should I go for a i965 based board or a i975 one? In other words how much performance benefit is there in i975 and is it worth the extra cash (remember this is unlikely to be overclocked)?
Thanks in advance
Jon
