Hi im building a new computer and i have a question over memory, it will be on a 780i motherboard e8400 cpu and either a 8800gtx or 9800gtx gfx card. Basically is it worth getting epp? Because i was looking at 1150mhz memory and then i found out about epp and that seems to be at 1066. So should i buy the 1066 epp or the 1150 non-epp?
Thanks

ok so if i had a combination of a 780i board and some 1150 memory would the board be able to run that memory at 1200? I think thats the max the board will do?
Was looking at the xfx 780i http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-001-XF if that helps!

Why whats wrong with a 780i? For a 790i arnt you just paying for DDR3? And i thought if i was getting a nvidia gfx card then i would get an nforce motherboard! That not make sense? Havnt really researched intel motherboards, what would be best for between 150-200?

Oh yeah i knew you could run a nvidia gpu in another mobo, just thought the combination worked better. So what mobo would you recommend for a e8400 and a 9800gtx that will most likely be accompanied by another later in time for sli?
