Hi all! Maybe you lot can help me with a small problem...
I've ordered my new Hardware and it's coming tomorrow YAY from OcUK!
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB)
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)
BFG GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
It's the MoBo I'm having concern about. Firstly, I'm wanting to OC at some
point, but not sure which board is the best for the 6600.
Now I have actually ordered this MoBo:
Asus P5W64-WS Pro Intel 975X (Socket LGA775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
But maybe I didn't do much research on it. It has 4 x SLi slots
(Note: Don't think i'll ever SLi again as it didn't impress me that much - in
future, instead of SLi, i'll get the newest card out instead
)
So this isn't nescessary. But then I noticed the
ASUS Striker Extreme SKT 775 Nforce 680 SLI Quad Core CPU Ready
EVGA 122-CK-NF68 NF680i SLI, S775, PCI-E (x16), DDR2 1200/533/667/800, SATA II, SATA RAID, ATX
Which got me drooling!! But again those boards are specifically designed for
SLi 8800's and what ever's out next.
Ok, my dilema is this:
Do i return this MoBo, and get maybe the Asus P5W DH Deluxe WiFi (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard or keep the
Pro edition that I have or go for the ASUS Striker or the EVGA??
Man, my head's aching with this. At the end of the day, I'll be
OC'ing and not SLi'ing. Someone paalease help meeee!!
Thanks in advance!!
