I want to build a new system using the Intel Q6600 quad core CPU.
Word on the street says you can take this to 3Ghz easy with
FSB = 333Mhz [333Mhz x 9 multiplier]. This is good enough for me.
Questions;
1. They say you should look for G0 stepping of this CPU to make life
easier. lol .. Should I just snag the retail version and use the stock
heatsink for 3Ghz or should I get something else? I don't want a crazy big
heatsink either. A low noise fan setup is what I would prefer to have.
2. I want RAID 1 setup, two SATA hard drives. Nothing fancy.
Which motherboards are good candidates that meet the overclocking
goal and RAID requirement?
What's the skinny on the Asus P5K motherboard problems?
Thanks,
