I'm building both my girlfriend and me a new computer. I'll be getting the new C2D E6600. Looking at the motherboards that are available, I noticed that the P965 Express requires that if you use DDR2-800 it must have 1.8V operation. Looking at other people's builds I noticed them buying RAM that doesn't use 1.8V.
So my questions to you are what motherboard would be good for our E6600? What should I do about this 1.8V restriction? And if I can get around this restriction, what kind of RAM should I get?
Thanks for you help! I did my best to look for my answers going through the forums. Thanks!
(Motherboard Budget = $100-$200, would also want up to 1-2GB of RAM, and the E6600 hasn't been purchased yet)
