I'm gonna buy the Q9450 processor, but I'm not sure which mobo I need to buy.
Would it be better to have a mobo which supports both DDR2 and DDR3? I wanted to buy the Asus P5E but it only supports DDR2. I guess that problem comes with all mobo's with the X38 chipset?
What is a good motherboard that supports DDR2 and DDR3?
And which chipset? (P45, X48?)
Other problem on the Asus P5E:
I've looked on the asus site for my mobo:
www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=572&l4=0&model=1873&modelmenu=1
when you look at Memory Features; Dual-Channel DDR2 1066, you see that they say this:
While in DDR2 1066 mode, ASUS´s exclusive technology offers a choice of FSB 1333 - providing great performance for 3D graphics and other memory demanding applications.
What does this mean exactly? My mobo supports 1600 MHz FSB right? is the max frequency on DDR2 1333 now?
