C2D what motherboard 965 or 975

[dobby]

I have hit a stumblling block in the design ofmy next computer, and that wether to use a 975 or 965 motherboard, i can afford either. I am very interested in the use of intel PEC (where the CPU controls that cas fans) whether that efect which chipset touse. and i dont much care for nforce 4or thr new 5 series.

So which is better?

975 will probably overclock better.

hmm but it depends what motherboard though, the DQ6 reached a wopping 480fsb!!

i dont intend to do any major overclocking i justneedto know ehich is better over all, which is more future proof and can proberly surive another wave of cpus after.

I don't think either will survive another wave of cpus. Intel usually requires new chipsets for new cpus.

If you're not going to overclock, I would go with the cheapest board you can find with the features you want because the mobo makes little difference in perfomance.

If you intend to use the onboard sound, get a 965.
