I am debating on a mobo and what is holding me up is if I should go ahead and pay for something with 1066 support or is 800 going to be enough. I am going to be running an E6850(fsm 1333) and as off now I am looking at...

//Native ddr2 800
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3P LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
149.99
Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB
$129.99

or

//Native ddr2 1066
GA-P35-DQ6
229.99
OCZ 2GB
$167.99


I by all means don't mind spending the extra money so that is not an issue. I am more about doing it right and getting quality over anythying else. Problem is I still am not if the extra money for 1066 is really going to yeild a noticable increase. I keep reading that its on the margin of like 5% increase.

Regards

Chad
