Hi All,
I?m putting together a new system and looking for input. The system I have roughed out:
E6600 - I want the 4MB cache.
Asus P5B Deluxe or Striker MB
2GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 (800 MHZ) or 2GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C5D (1066 MHz)
Tuniq Tower 120
Two Raptors on RAID 0
eVGA e-GeForce 7950 GT KO PCI Express 512MB GDDR3 Video Card
I plan to OC the E6600 from 266 MHz to 380 MHz, which should give me a CPU running at 3.4 GHZ if my math is correct. I am assuming the Tuniq Tower will keep the CPU cool enough.
The system is not really for gaming, more for use with graphics programs such as CS2.
I am wondering:
1. Does it make any sense to buy the Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C5D? Shouldn't the
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 be able to handle a 1:1 ratio for my OC needs?
2. Which MB would be a better choice for OC and RAID? Stable/Mature Bios and
Drivers are my concern.
Any advice would be great.
