This is for a Digital Audio Workstation, running lots of Audio plugins/effects/instruments, but not graphics heavy.
Going with the Q9450 over the Q6600 bec I want the 1333 FSB.
Can anyone recommend a good ATX motherboard in the $200 or under range?
Should I try to to match the memory speed with the FSB speed? In which case, maybe the Intel BOXDX38BT w/ DDR3 1333 memory would be good?
Doesnt seem like they make DDR2 1333....
Also, would be nice to get a graphics card that supports dual output with a linked screen (not just the same screen duplicated twice), used to have a Matrox Card that did this... so you could drag your plugin windows and templates to a side monitor, while working on a project in the main monitor.
Thanks for your help...
