Hi,
I am working on a friend's computer now. He has the 965P-DS3 rev 1.0 mentioned above. He has an 8800GT and already has Vista and 4 gigs of RAM (6400). I noticed he doesn't have a lot of cpu options with 1.0. He can go with up to an e6700 dual core, a quad core q6600 or so, or an extreme edition Qx6800. This is for casual use/gaming.
From a money standpoint, he can go to a higher speed with a higher l2 cache and get 4 cores instead of going with the highest dual core....
Can he keep his memory (even if there is some system hit) if going with a quad core?
With the M/B- does the extreme make any sense at all?
Thanks
