Hi all!
I wanna build cheapest C2D system, as for CPU, it's clear:
E6300.
But what about RAM and motherboard?
I managed to pick a ram + mobo combo so total is $434 shipped, but it's at 533 mhz.

Is it even possible to do DDR2 800 MHZ with E6300?
If so, please suggest 2 gb RAM and a motherboard. Keep it cheap - the system will be used for "matrix floating point calculations", absolutely no gaming.
So it would be cool to have onboard video.

cliffs:
1. need 2 gb of DDR2 800 mhz + mobo
2. I am cheap - E6300
3. need onboard video
4. Profit?

there will be absolutely no Over Clockling.

Is 533 mhz stock speed?

Or is it 667? I hear bad things about 667...

if you can suggest a 667 build, please post:
E6300
mobo with onboard video (which mobo?)
2gb ram (which RAM?)

Thanks!

Just get DDR2-533; that's the default.
You can also run DDR2-667/800 @ stock as well, via the higher dividers, but they aren't imperative.
