Hi, im building a computer for the first time, the spec i was first suggested used a 1.8 conroe but ive not got a little extra to stretch to the 2.13 allendale. Ill be using the computer for a lot of 3d design work as well as games, is the 2.13 actually better? from what ive been reading more people seem to talk about the conroe

Thankyou
 
Oh right sorry, this is the first time I've built a computer and have been out the loop for a while, the processor im going for is the

Intel Core 2 DUO E6400 "LGA775 Allendale" 2.13GHz (1066FSB) - Retail (CP-127-IN)

and

Intel DP965LT 965 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-011-IN)

if that seems right
 
the ram im getting is the

MY-058-GL GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) (MY-058-GL)
£109.95 £109.95

would I be better of going with the ds4 then?
