Hi.
I'm looking for some help in choosing a MB for at least 450MHz FSB as I want to try to take my E6600 (on order) to about 4GHz if possible. I will be happy if I get 3.6GHz, but if my chip has 4GHz in it I want my MB to support it.
I have on order:
1. Xclio 600w power supply made by Channel Wells
2. 2x1GB Corsair 6400C4A RAM that uses top quality Micron chips
3. Sunbeam Tuniq cooler 120mm fan
4. EVGA 8800GTS
5. E6600 C2D processor
Now I need to navigate this mess of 965, 975, 680i, 650i and RD600 and the actual boards that contain them.
I'm in this situation because eWiz cancelled my Asus Commando order and at $211 it was a good deal.
I could get a Commando for $249, but I may as well get the DFI RD600 board for $269. I hear a lot about the Intel XBX2 board a lot and my memory is EPP enabled so maybe an Nvidia board isn't a bad idea.
I'm confused.
I really don't want to have to volt mod a board either, I just want it to be good enough to not hold back my processor.
