Going to get a Phenom II .... its either the X4 955 BE or the cheaper option of a X2 550.
Now whats a good value motherboard .... dont need multiple PCE express as will only ever run one GPU. Dont want anything cheap/nasty but neither something bloated and overpriced. Want a good reliable performer.
Does a DDR2 mobo suffer against a DDR3 mobo ? Do the 955 or 550 lose much on a DDR2 motherboard? Would the difference be noticeable other then benchmarking ?
I have about 6gig of DDR2 so thats why I am asking . Use this or get DDR3 is something I havent decided upon.
