When shopping for RAM, what do you need to know to begin? Do you need to have a CPU, GPU and Mobo selected? Say, for the sake of argument, I was looking to run a AMD 6000+ 3.0 w/ an 8800 GTX 768, on an ASUS M2N-E Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP. What type of memory would I want to look for, o...

Looking for a low cost, but efficient, mobo to work with the CPU and GPU in the subject line. I will not be using SLI, so I have counted that out. Is there any problem with the ASUS M2N-E Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP being used as the mobo? At this time, I am trying to get an idea for what...

If I was looking to OC a CPU to 3.0ghz+, to compete with an AMD 6000+, which would be the best cost efficient option, and what additional items would I want/need (upgraded heatsink, fan?)

Thanks!

To be honest, I do not plan on running SLI anytime soon. I realize that it seems to be industry standard for an SLI mobo, but I don't see myself using that option for quite some time. Let's say I go with the AMD 6000+ CPU witha GeForce 8800 GTS 320mb card and don't plan on overclocking anything, wha...

I will take a look at those options, thanks for the help. Do all mobos now come with sufficient sound so a seperate card does not have to be purchased? Let's say I want to spend no more than $100 bucks on a mobo that is going to be able to give me SLI, work well with a 3gig CPU and provide quality s...

After deciding on an AMD 6000+ 3.0 CPU, I am now looking for a mobo to handle it. I am having tough a time time finding what makes one mobo seperate itself from another. I realize that I need to make sure that the mobo works with the CPU, so I need an AM2 mobo, and it sounds like having one with SLI...

Thanks for all the advice and input on CPU's. I think I have found a couple of solid options for the cost.

After finding some more information on the E6600, it sounds as if the technology is way ahead of the software that it is made for.

My question still remains, how important are BUS vs Cache vs Speed...

I am beginning to put the first pieces of a gaming system together. At this time, I am trying to spend no more than $1500 on all hardware. I have decided to start with the CPU as my first selection, but I am nowhere near educated enough to understand the important numbers. From what I have read here...
