should probably know the answer to this but i don't

[joeswm8]

yeah you are right, newegg is wrong

they could be sued

anyway, i would go with DDR2-800 RAM, an E6600, and an eVga 680i, try to get the FSB to 400 for a 1:1 ratio and you will have some sweet performance

are you gonna build a new computer? because your name says you need one

YOU DON'T NEED A 1:1 RATIO!

The 1:1 ratio was only for skt754, 939, and 940 systems that have the memory controller on the CPU, and where the FSB and the RAM speed had to be the same, or something like that. Besides, the OC101 guide is a year and a half old, not something to go by.

i know but some one said it will have the best performance, so i was just wondering if i could get a 1066 ddr2 memory to work withthe motherboard, this one

 

[Bobo]

Yes it will work with that. But don't expect to put your FSB at 1066MHz, because you won't be able to.

 

[NeedComputerFast]

wait, so then i cant use the processor i want (core 2 duo 6600, 1.86ghz) becusae it has a fsb of 1066

 

[Bobo]

No it doesn't, it has a FSB of 266MHz.

wait, so then i cant use the processor i want (core 2 duo 6600, 1.86ghz) becusae it has a fsb of 1066

This is what it will look like (it will work):

CPU: 1.83Ghz
FSB: 266Mhz
Bus: 1066Mhz
Memory: 533Mhz

 

[NeedComputerFast]

and is that the best performance i can get out the processor, or would going to ddr2 1200 (sli) memory be even faster, and even if it is, would it make a big enough difference in gaming to be worth the price?

 

[Bobo]

No, it wouldn't make a big enough difference to justify the price.
