i want to purchase a new motherboard and i dont know what to buy. these days there are so many tipes of chipset that i dont know what to choose (i'm a noob when it comes about motherboards)-i'm not interested in sli mode. also what is better an E8400 or Q6600 (thay have the same price)? on my new system i'll have a 8800gt videocard, 4gb ddr2 (1066 mhz), 600 watt source thx
Why not get a Q9450? Get a Hd 4850 about same price as 8800gt but much better. 4GB corsair may I suggest. If you are not interested in SLI or CF, I strongly reccomend the p5k premium. Great board and very stable.
Go for the q6600, 4 cores is better than 2, and you can overclock it to get the e8400 frequency. Get an intel board, they are more stable than nvidia. p5k premium was a good suggestion but basically anything with a p45, x38 or x48 chipset and you'll be set.
q6600 is allmost half price that q9450 thx for your sugetion about HD4850. u are right-is better that 8800gt
It consumes less power. So then it runs cooler basically new architechture than older B3 stepping and also overclocks better.
guys, thx for your replies. finally i have decided to buy ASUS P5Q. this motherboard will make a good "team" with Q6600 prosessor and with HD4850
