OK, I have an EVGA 680i right now with an E6400 and 2X2GB of Corsair Dominator PC2-8500 RAM. Well one stick of the RAM is dead so I am running on 2GB right now.
I am looking for a new Mobo that will either use the Corsair RAM I get from the RMA or THIS RAM. I have decided on one of the P5Q mobos but I have no idea which one. My current videocard is a 8800GTS 640mb abd the processor is a 6400 at 3.2ghz. With the new mobo I will eventually get a quad core processor. Midrange processor, I do not need top of the line. SLI/Crossfire will not really be an issue as I am currently using a 19' LCD but I would like to go to a 22" or so monitor in the future............ I do not game a lot on this computer now so graphics power is not so important. I am using Vista Ultimate 64bit.
The 680i, 6400 and whatever RAM does not work as well on the P5Q will become an overpowered file server for my main comp, laptop and PS3 and will run Windows XP.
Basically my questions are: Which P5Q should I get and why. And, which RAM should I be looking at and why.............
Thanks in advance.
