looking to build my first core 2 duo rig. Need some help
so far I only have cpu picked out Intel® Core 2 Duo E6600 . For board is it better to go with 965 to save money. Looking for these things in a board
lots of usb, atleast one firewire, quadcore ready, raid . I already have nvidia 6600gt so I may want to go to sli in the future.
MSI
MSI 975Asus SLI

Any other sugestions for the board will help, do I need a SLI board or I can use two PCIE cards instead??
