Well the rig in my signature recently bit the dust, so I'm looking to replace/upgrade with the following; I've spent hours trying to do enough reading to be able to adequately answer the AM2/Agena vs P35/Penryn dilemma and for fears that Agena isn't quite going to match up to Penryn I've decided to go the (slightly more expensive) Intel route...
Asus P5K-E WiFi/AP P35 mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo E6420
2Gb Corsair XMS DDR2-6400C5
nVidia 7900GT (recycled from my old rig)
Tagan 480w PSU (recycled from my old rig)
Western Digital WD2500KS 250GB 7200RPM SATAII/300 16MB Cache Hard Drive
plus some random stuff; new Lian-Li PC7 in Black, some Samsung SATA DVD-RW drive.
So, any comments, suggestions for changes? Not really planning on overclocking this CPU to be honest, it'll still run rings around the 3500+ I've had for several years...And not really much room for movement on the amount of money I'm spending either
Input muchly appreciated!
