Motherboard: Abit IP35 Pro LGA 775
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 Ghz
RAM: Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR2-800 (2 x 2GB)
Case: Antec P182
Power Supply: Seasonic S12 Energy Plus SS-650HT ATX12V / EPS12V 80 Plus 2PCE-E (6 pin) 650W
Hard Drive: Western Digital Raptor SATA 10,000 RPM 150GB
Video Card: PNY Nvidia Quadro NVS 440 Quad Display PCI-E
Video Card #2: PNY Nvidia Quadro NVS 440 Quad Display PCI-E
Sound Card TBD
CD ROM 1: Asus 18x DVD-RW (Lightscribe)
CD ROM 2: Asus 16x DVD-ROM
OS: Windows XP/Vista (Undecided)
Areas where I still have questions:
1. Keep the three 120mm fans that come standard in the Antec P182 case, or swap them out for something else.
2. Since I have two graphics cards, do I need a motherboard that has SLI or do I just need two PCIe slots? Those are 2-D cards, not gaming cards.
3. 32 bit or 64 bit OS? When using a 64 bit OS, is it just hardware drivers you need to be concerned or could there be application conflicts as well?
So you all know, I'm having someone help me do this. I've asked him the same questions, but I'm asking as many people as possible.
