Hello guys...


I want to build a new computer and I've decided to go with this CPU.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103773


My question is, what motherboard can I get with it?? I want a motherboad where I can upgrade my chip to a quad core in the future. Can you guys recommend me some board?

Also, do I need to know what kind of cases I should get?

Does it matter whether my ram, is an SDRM or DDRM??'

Thanks for the help..
 
Do you plan to overclock? also you will want to go with "DDR2" ram, depending on the motherboard you will get will depend on that socket ram you get. More than likely it will be 240pin
 
AMD quad core is possibly going to be on a different socket, AM3 or something. If you truly want the ability to upgrade to quad core buy a C2d. The Lga775 "socket" is more than capable of supporting a Quad.

AMDs Quad Phenom X2 and X4 will run on a AM2 and AM2+ boards and will use DDR2. The AM3 will be a 45mn core and suppost to come out later in the year of 2008 with the AM3 boards and use DDR3

Any of these are good boards and with AM2 you have to use DDR2 memory
