I've been forced to adjust my original idea for a new system. The new idea...
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45
Processor: Q6600 G0
Video Card: Geforce GTX260 core 216
HDD: Velociraptor 3.0Gb
So far, I have four possibilities for this set up.
If none of these, can you please make suggestions on what you think would be a better idea?
Thank you

Does it matter that they're DDR2 900 instead of 1066? I'd have to overclock them to get the same speed. Not that thats a big deal, I want to overclock my chip and video card anyway, but I haven't overclocked anything before.
Oh and the one set that I posted is 1100 instead of 1066.

its cas 4 instead of 5 so its about equivalent to clocking of about 1100mhz, that stuff goes into the 1200 and 1150 mhz kits and its great if my gmh dies again im getting that to replace it

Ahh... interesting. I actually didn't know that but I haven't had to deal with buying new ram in years so... Thank you.
