Here's my current shopping list feel free to point me to a better / more powerful part if you know of them.

This is just a folder, nothing else.

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813128059)

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor Model BX80562Q6600 - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819115017)

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820231098)

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST380815AS 80GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822148231)

Don't have a good PSU picked out, and as for a video and CPU cooler...
COOLER MASTER GeminII RR-CCH-ANU2-GP CPU+ Board Cooler - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16835103026)
JATON Video-208PCI-128TV GeForce MX4000 128MB 64-bit DDR PCI Low Profile Video Card - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814139174)

Fans I am a bit clueless on as well. I had thought about using one 120mm fan for each cpu for right now. I have a basement that I think I will put the unit(s) in to keep them cool. Going with this so far.
KINGWIN F-012BB 120mm Case Fan - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811999965)


What I have comes to about $548 right now (needing power supply)

That will be a sweet folder ;)

Any reason you need 2gb?? If it is just folding...512 would work (although cutting it close) ;)

No particular reason, thought it would help and it looked pretty affordable.

I think 2x512 will work....from what I understand. You could also pick up a used HD for $20 or so...to save a few bucks.

Also might consider going with a board that will run Penryn, not sure if that one will or not. Maybe you already looked at that. :santa:

I'm almost positive that I can shag a HD around here (work). Old legacy HD won't hurt speeds, right? It's all cpu power isn't it?

Hmmm, dunno about the Penryn compatibility, are any boards touting that yet?

I believe Abit's IP35-E supports Penryn, and at $60 after MIR it may be the best deal.....but I'd want approval on that from a couple other members before you made a choice.


Edit: that price is @ newegg through end of January 2008
