Hey all, I'm planning on building a new pc, but am confused on a couple things. I didn't know what subforum to post in, so i posted here, sorry if this was the wrong place to post.
I'm planning on building a Core 2 Duo PC, (my budget is $600)
For the proc I'm thinking of buying the e6750. (I was originally going to buy a e6420 from newegg ($186) but the e6750 is only $189 from microcenter). My question is, what does the increased fsb mean? What does the FSB really do? What kind of motherboard and RAM do I have to get? Most mobos I see that say they support 1066 and 1333 mhz fsb say they support ddr2 800 RAM, but a friend of mine said that the ram I buy should be clocked the same rate as the FSB. The mobo I was going to buy was an nforce 650i ultra, will that work with this proc or should I shell out the extra dough and get a 680i? What RAM will work? Will 2GB ddr2 800mhz ram work? Also, how does the e6750 overclock? I'm not planning on overclocking too much. What cooling should I get?
Again, thank you for your help, I'm just trying to learn a bit about this stuff.
