Hello folks,
I'm considering of upgrading my system. CPU, board, and mem. Everything else I keep. I found the following initial prices from PCX:
CPU
Intel E6850 (3.0G) 1333FSB 4mb C2D 13470
Intel Q6600 (2.4G) 8mb Core 2 Quad 13570
Motherboard
Asus P5PE-VM i865G agpV/S/L/C2D 2600
ECS 662/1066T-M2 2290
ECS 945P-AL 3110
DDR2
Transcend 1GB 800 ddr2 1820
Kingston 1GB 800 ddr2 2290
I've got my eye on the Q6600 kai 100 pesos ra ang difference and I'm not very particular about the motherboard as long as it suits my needs like USB, LAN and SATA. I also want 3-4 pci slots for my sound card and a potential modem or lan. Why consider the last 2? Because my current system's built-in lan just died on me and I don't want surprises in the future. However, I noticed that PCX keeps a separate section for Core 2 Quad mobos and they range from around 5k+.
Questions:
Lahi ba gud ang mobo sa Core 2 Quad?
Will the motherboards I listed above suffice? I'm only budgeting at most 3k for a mobo. di ko ganahan daghan ekek na ang mobo kai anyway goodbye ra man gyapon na along with the cpu if ever naa nasad lain maayo maabot in the future.
Aside from the negligible price difference between the above CPUs what other notable and major differences among the two?
