Looking for a motherboard for a Q6600 Quad core CPU .
For the RAM they tend to say DDR2 . Which speed do I get, I mean there are ones around $200-300 for 2x2GB, there are also Corsair Value ram at like $80 for the 2x2GB . What bandwidth should I look for .

I am doing normal stuff, the odd game, gonna get a GF 9600GT, mostly photoshop and lightroom, photography stuff .



Cheers . :D

Or 4GB G.Skill DDR2 1000 at Playtech for $100:

737640 2009-01-12 02:42:00 DDR2 1000 or 1066 is a waste of time with the Q6600. If you can get 8 x 400 = 3600 mhz then you are running synchronous RAM anyway, more people run 9 x 333 = 3000 which is DDR2 667 SolMiester (139)
737641 2009-01-12 20:29:00 Thanks, I got the G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2 800. $75 or so .. Sweet :D

Quite a bit cheaper than Ascent, they allow credit card too payment.

737642 2009-01-13 02:01:00 Check the links, they jacked up the prices.

But I got the order in before, 2x2GB DDR2 800 from $75 abouts to over a $100 :blush:

The link above DDR2 1000 2x2GB gone up too.

It is backorder so will still be happy after Welly Anniversary (next Mon).
