Give me your opinions.



If you want the ram with high heatsinks, you might be able to rip them off if they aren't glue down solid.

The sticks in my signature below still have the heatsinks on them, but only because they are stuck there until someone figures out a way to get them off.

The heatsinks are only there to catch fish ;)

35 year old geeks? You kids totally under estimate the power of time.

Time and Tide wait for no man.

I have looked all around and see that I really don't need DDR3. DDR2 will be good for now. Besides why wast money if I don't actually show off the system in shows and stuff. ::)


I will be switching from the Asus Maximus Extreme to the EVGA nForce 780i. It has much more space (from a visual view point) around the CPU and DDR2 is less complicated.

Get this boardhttp://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=IP35+Pro&fMTYPE=LGA775

Don't touch the nvidia boards, they're not very good. The Nforce 4 boards were decent, but the Intel P35 seem to be the one of choice.
