I'm looking for a CPU and motherboard, as I'm going to use my memory, psu, graphics card etc for it...

I've got:

Geil PC6400 DDR2 800 memory 2Gb kit (ultra low latency kit)
OC Z 520W Mod stream
HIS X1900XT graphics card

Oh and what would be good enough memory for an am2 system that would be used as a server? 2gb is more than enough :) I have a Abit KN9 Ultra motherboard. It'll be just used for basic online and surfing the net type stuff.

Thanks guys for the help :)

Would the Abit AW9D/max be a good board to try?

Read a review at X-labs and they suggested a Asus P5W DH Deluxe board with a E6300??

Would it be silly to get a E6300 or E6400? What would be best to cool it with if I'm using Air cooling? Are the Zalman 9700's any good?

For the value ram, what DDR2 speed would be ok to get? PC5400 should work fine shouldnt it?
 
Would the Asus board be good to try or is it worth just grabbing the Gigabyte model instead?

I take it the extra L2 cache that is on the E6600 isnt worth the extra money?

I think the PC5400 should be fine as I doubt I'd overclock it if its just online as a server or playing the odd game. That reminds me, I'll have to buy another graphics card for it too!! :lol:

Thanks for the help guys :)
 
I make sure if its worth the extra to get the better item :) Money isnt such a factor if your wanting something for me, I'll just get it when I can afford to :)

Many thanks for the advice :) Gigabyte and E6600 CPU it is then :)
 
Could you please let me know how you get on with overclocking/results etc? What other hardware do you have in your system?

I'm interested to see what differences there will be between the two systems :D
 
I have something to say there... With regards to the CPU score...
