PROC+MOBO suggestion..

for the chipset, i highly recommend the nforce ones....for superb compatibility and maximization in case you shall use nvidia cards, and performance.

ahm.. yeah.. plano nvidia VC palit cguro kato lang mejo mura sa 8 series..

ahh.. sir any recommendation na mga mobo's with nForce chipsets?? kanang sakto para sa E6400/E6420 na proc..
price range is 5~6k di na kaya mo lapas pa..

tnx..

sir ka dinha, hehe.

anyway, any brand will do(choose your fave brand kay lain-lain ra ba ta og natilawan/lamian), as long as it has the best features available possible;

like more or less with dual channel capable, sata 2 capable(almost all mobos now have this), firewire capable, giga lan capable, usb 2(all latest mobos now have this), ddr2 800 capable, higher audio channel codec chipset(built-in), 64-bit support (almost all mobos now have this), higher FSB support, and sli capable (if you want for some reasons).

watch also for the lay-out design of the mobo that wont be a hindrance for your high-powered bulky cooling system equipped VC.

look also for a mobo that has a good cooling system on its nortbridge and soutbridge chipsets.

cheapest p35 mobo http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=1082280

and intel cpu http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=1086243

please check the price difference between E6420 and E6750, just P300.00.

Chipmunk888 tnx..



@duneman: hhmmm.. where man sa ta kakita anang E6750 na ingana na price (diri lang cebu)..

All of these above are great mobos for the buck. If you arent so familiar with the technical terms, just compare the figures above for they seem have in common. I could even recommend you an ECS brand(of which i love too, very low cost but descent design, practical, full-packed features also, and powerful) but a good one though might unavailable in pcx, so as with the other local stores' pricelists/stocks.

So its your choice.

@Chipmunk888: salamat kaau bai..



@all.. kong naa pa mo ika recommend plss.. post lang mo ... ^_^


ty ty ty ty ...

[pinadski]

@Chipmunk888
unsay model sa ECS imong i-recommend nga unavailable sa pcx?

ang ECS G31T-M IG31 pwede ma-overclock?
ang Intel DG31PR IG31 pwede ma-overclock?
