"Let's put things that shouldn't go in water in water," seems to be a slightly recurring theme here at the moment. Apart from Foxconn putting all their motherboards in big tubes with running water down the outer glass sheet, which only got amusing when the water stopped flowing, and others with their crush proof USB drives, Vission has the Iceman; a totally rigged, outdoor friendly computer.

AMD and Intel determined the headlines this week - both good and not so good news. Let's get the not so good news out of the way first: Intel may lay off 16,000 employees. On the positive side, Intel surprised with a capable flagship processor, countered by AMD with a dual-socket approach and aggressive platform strategy. Read more

Well, it depends if you are going to run sli or not. I personally don't find sli very beneficial so i would go for a GA-P35-DS3L and funnel the extra money into a q6600. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128059 |

I was wondering if theres anything I should watch out for when looking that dual and quad cores. I remember I bought a p 4 2.40 years ago. After I got it I found out it was a "D" version which was the slowest. Seemed like a dirty trick to me. Are there things like that with the dual and quad? \ also if I go with the rig I picked above will it be considered a high end machine I can use for Gamming?

I looked on Wiki but didn't understand it all about Dual Channel. What is the difference between DDR2 RAM and DDR2 - Dual Channel. Do both the motherboards above support both? Message edited by googleads on 08-19-2007 at 06:47:16 PM |

Q6600 is a quad core, it uses LGA775, it's the best value in CPUs there days. I'd recommend a GA-P35-S3L for a low-budget system with up to 4 SATA devices or a GA-P35-DS3R for something better. Both these mobos support Dual Channel, i.e. using two identical RAM modules to improve bandwidth.

I would go with the Nforce 680i, but thats just me. the Q6600 is likely the best CPU for high end gaming or other intensive apps. I would pair that with 4GB's of RAM if you can. By the way the 8800 GTS is a large video card. be sure there's room for it in the case. (just in case you might want to know). --------------- System 1 C2D E4400|OCZ 4GB 800MHz|WD 80GB SATA (x2)|Seagate 160GB SATA |Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 512MB|OCZ StealthXstream 600W PSU|GA-P35-DS3L |

As for your questions, everyone likes the GO stepping CPUs. Either motherboard will work, but you really don't have to spend that much money on a mobo just to game. Message edited by joefriday on 08-25-2007 at 08:34:52 PM |
