I'm planning on upgrading my current system (in sig) to a Core 2 Duo one and have quite a few questions because i aint used an Intel system in atleast 5 years...
First of all, what motherboards will work with Core 2? What ones are most overclockable? What chipsets are best? and when are boards out with nVidia and ATI chipsets that work with Core 2?
I really dont know much in this area so any info will help!
Now memory... I want 4GB of 800mhz+ memory, so 4x1GB sticks, preferably memory that overclocks well and is capable of CL3 @ 800mhz.
Was looking at OCZ PC2-7200 (900mhz @ 4-4-3-15), anyone used this memory? can it do 3-x-x-x?
Water cooling... i have a Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra water cooling kit (sold on here) and i know it can be fitted to 775 mobo's but are the Core 2 Duo ones any different? Will i have any trouble fitting it?
Cheers for any help
