Faster is almost always better. It really depends on:
1) Are you going to overclock?
2) Are you going to overclock to the maximum?
What's the difference? If you'd be happy with an e6400 OC'ed to 2.8Ghz, and there was a more than reasonable chance that you could get an e6300 to OC to...
For the e6400 fans: TigerDirect now has the Retail version In Stock on their website for 269.99 + shipping (and tax if you're in NC, IL, or FL) 281.98 shipped to DC, but I think I'll wait for 1) the e6600 and 2) prices to settle a little more

Sorry Lopri :(
Ok, back to the topic - what memory and what system boards are going to be the best bang for your buck....and which Conroe as well? The sweet spot for me is roughly between 3200-3500Mhz. It looks like the E6400 can get there and the E6300 might get there, depending on your...
Almost enough to be nominated for pwnage of the year, but it looks like someone else has that spot pretty wrapped up right now.
I've been using AMD almost exclusively since the K6-2/200 and missed the Celery 300 craze (the most recent time in history that Intel could claim pure mastery over...

As far as...
I kinda expected something like that - It's just that the post titles don't always match what's discussed inside, and it certainly helps a LOT when people flame you for it, then fails to provide a link to the other post.
By the way - I followed your link to your cable management post, Buck...
True, you can certainly build one faster and cheaper, but with this deal you are getting a complete system that has (hopefully) been pretested. It's made of brand new parts covered by at least a 12 month warranty, and best of all....NO rebates!!!!
By the way, it's a built-in nVidia graphics...
I'm looking for memory for my new build (Conroe E6600). Which is better - a higher speed rating or memory timings? For example, would a stick of PC5400 with 4-4-4-10 timings do as well as a stick of PC6400 with 5-5-5-12 timings?
As mentioned in a previous post, I'm not neccessarily looking...
