What is your opinion on the best motherboard/ram combo so far for E6600 and E6700?
Crossfire can be an option...

If you want one graphics card, P965.
If you want Crossfire, RD600.
If you want SLI, nForce 590 IE.
All of those should be paired with any DDR2-800 2GB(2x 1GB) pair, preferably C4, but C5 is okay.
It has become that simple in my eyes.

It's hard to wrap up when 99% of the options on the market aren't even able to be evaluated. :)
Give it a couple weeks.

For me, right now it's either DFI Infinity or Asus P5 DH Deluxe, not sure yet.

I thought about it and it's really not all bad but I had a intel board a while ago...it may take some time to get that "taste" out of my mouth...
I'm really looking forward to Gigabyte's 12 phase power motherboard with all solid caps!

But will that really make a difference with Core 2 Duo's? We are not dealing with power hungry CPUs anymore...:slap:
For a Presler or Prescott that would have been sweet... or am I missing something?
