im a newbie on this forum, but ive been a silent watcher and visitor for quite some time.
i am putting together a computer for work purposes.
it will be used for running design programs some of which are resource hungry (adobe photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, fireworks, premiere pro, soundbooth etc...etc).
with the recent price crash, ive bought a Q9550 because of its quad capabilities, and 12m cache.
ive been eyeing up the Asus P5Q deluxe motherboard for my new cpu to sit in.
the question is whether this is a good choice of board for my requirements?
are there any other boards that i should consider?
i would really like to have a go at OCing the setup to achieve 3.4ghz fully stable. i will have a decent cooler and memory (any recommendations welcome...but for size considerations they will be going into a lian li a16 case)
any advice/recommendations welcome. thanks
