I'm planning on upgrading from s939 winchester 3200 to core 2 duo 6600, probably before 1st August. I want to be able to overclock as much as possible. The setup which I could build using currently available products is below. I would really appreciate any comments before jumping in re. these points:
Is fast (expensive) memory worth it?
Is it better to have 2x512MB or 1x1GB?
What would be the best air-cooled cpu cooler?
Do you think quality mainboards at much lower prices will come out in the next month?
The components I'm thinking of getting are:
CPU: Intel core 2 duo (339 euro)
Mainboard: Asus P5W DH Deluxe (219 euro)
Memory: 1 GB, 1 stick, DDR-2 800 CL5 Kingston HyperX (KHX6400D2/1G) (136 euro)
Many thanks
