I've been thinking about upgrading the core components of my pc for a while now and I think now is the right time.
So far I'm looking at the following components:
Intel E6400 2.13GHz - £155
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 - £108
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 800MHz - £147
Total £410.
Tbh I don't know all that much about intel mobos (I've got socket 939 atm) or ddr2 for that matter so I'm not sure if the above are the best choices. What do you think? Would it be worth the extra £15 for the DS4?
I'd like to do a fair bit of overclocking with this system which is why I chose 800mhz RAM.
I'm also trying to have a nice quiet system so I'd rather not have to put a fan over the RAM to keep it cool at 800mhz, do you think I'd need to?
