My future motherboard unless someone wants to post some more options:
http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D975XBX2/index.htm
I have a few questions on processors though.
What is the major difference between these 2?
http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2quad/specifications.htm
^^The 2.66 GHz Quad^^
http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2xe/specifications.htm
^^The 2.66 Ghz Quad^^
The cost difference is about $600.00, but the specs are the same in the charts. Waht am I missing? Does it allocate resources differently or something?
I am going with the board and 2.4 Ghz processor for the present. I need to upgrade vid card ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143108&Tpk=BFGE86256GTSOC2FE%2bVideo%2bCard ) at the same time since it has only PCI-e availability.
Board = $219.00
Process. = $280.00
Vid. Card = $249.00
-------------------
Total = $749.00
