Hi,
Was initially gonna go for an I5/PHII upgrade but have decided to overclock my current system for the time being and wait for the next Intel/AMD architecture:
Currently:-
Vista 32
C2D E6850 @3ghz (333*9 stock speed, stock cooler)
P35 motherboard Asus P5KC
2gb 800mhz ram
Am gonna go for:-
Vista 64 bit
Titan Fenrir cooler
4gb ram corsair/Gskill/patriot....recommendations please?!
Now the question...Is it better to go for 1066 DDR2 ram or 1333 DDR3 ram? My mobo can handle both. In terms of overclocking is any better than the other?
Can anyone advise if my motherboard is a good overclocker? I realise im late to the party with C2D overclocking but any advice is appreciated!
Also would an e8400 be a better choice seeing as its 45nm? My motherboard supports penryn but perhaps it will be more overclock firendly with my current cpu?
Thanks in advance
