Will this all work together?

My Current Memory is DDR2 800 and the mobo has a different set but would the DDR2 800 still work until im able to afford the new ram?

This is the ram I want to buy when I can afford it

It will work, but why such a low-end motherboard for a Q6600 and a 9800GTX? I would recommend getting a P35 or P45 based motherboard. Since you're buying a video card, you don't need a G31 chipset based motherboard.

Your DDR2 800 should work fine and going to DDR2 1066 probably won't provide measurable performance improvements. I would definitely spend more on the motherboard instead of getting 1066Mhz memory.

Yes. Actually the PC28500 'requires' 2.15v to run at those transfer rates. The micro board you have listed may or may not have that much voltage adjustment available in BIOS with the lesser voltage regulators that are present with a lot micros. The DDR2 800MHz. you have should work fine and may possibly require less voltage than the other future purchase stuff you have linked. PC28500 1066MHz. would basically be needed for extreme OC's. The 800Mhz. DIMMs will likely keep up with moderate upside FSB adjustments.

Agree with ghislaing.

 

[Wiggles]

Will the motherboard hold back the processor or video card?

The G45, if you want a micro board, will perform better than the G31 when prompted. Also, the G31 has a terrible onboard video chip. The G45 has a more than decent onboard video chip. As mentioned. if you are worried about performance the P35 or P45 are much better choices. Full size boards come with superior voltage regulators and voltage adjustment. I think a G31 would be shakey stability wise when such much better chipsets are availabl. But, I do not know specifics.

Yes, I was looking at that one (price) myself. LOL. That is a full size ATX MB. The G31 is a micro board (smaller). The P45 is a very fast, overclockable chipset. I don't know about the G31.

 

[Wiggles]

So you said this one will be fine then? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131347
Im not quite sure if you posted that right after I posted mine

The P45 you have listed is good. If you were looking specifically for an Intel chipset micro board, this G45 (G is for graphics chip onboard) has a very good (not the best) onboard video chip. But, as pointed out if you are using an add on video card, the onboard graphics may not be important. Anyway, if the micro build is not the question, the full sixe ATX P45 is the better choice.

Fine. This is a full size ATX P45 MB. Not a micro board.

 

[GhislainG]

I agree with badge that this would be a better motherboard. Look at the voltage regulators on both motherboards and it's obvious which one is better.

 

[badge]

Stability with the better VRs.

 

[Wiggles]

So this one will work fine and all that? no problems?

 

[badge]

Haha. The P45 is a good choice. That chipset seems to be the sweet spot.

 

[badge]

Which case are you using? The P45 will not fit into a micro case. The G45 will. Same chipset with onboard graphics.

 

[Wiggles]

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119068 is my case

 

[badge]

Yeah, I have that exact case sitting net to my foot here. Mine has grown a side panel window it appears. The P45 will work just fine.

 

[curnel_D]

Hehe, I love that case.

 

[fatcat]

It's a good basic case with no frills but all you need is there. Also+ 1 for the P-45 MB, I am using both the Asus P5Q-E and a P5Q and they seem pretty good but I haven't got the chance to play with them yet.

You should take a look at this mobo:

It's standard would use your DDR2 800 and the reviews are much better.

 

[GhislainG]

3 good reviews definitely isn't enough to determine if it's a good buy. As with the original motherboard that Wiggles selected, the VRMs seem rather weak to support a Q6600 and it is limited to 4GB of RAM. As the reviewers (one of them doesn't have that motherboard because it has an ICH7, not an ICH10R), I'd use it to build an office desktop where the onboard video is good enough, but certainly not for a gaming system. Wiggles should buy a P45 motherboard that can support his Q6600 properly.

 

[Wiggles]

This is pretty much what I've decided to buy.
