The Intel Challenge

Mobo:
Newegg.com - ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Possessor:
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail

You don't even need the Pro version of the IP35. Compare it with the regular one, as the standard IP35 would fit most people fine, and is $50 cheaper.

no no no.. of course not.. its that thread that Peter linked to... (sry if that came up wrong.. in fact u've never done anything of the flaming matter.. )


I took the liberty of writing down the differences between all the ip35 boards:

the ip35-e: lack of heatpipe, RAID and 4 SATA Ports
ip35: all the features that the IP35-e has and has the missing ones fixed
pro: has GURU utility, all solid state capacitors + Ip35

those are the differences, so if u step down to the regular IP35.. ur not losing much..

so this setup is the most bang for my buck?

if you can afford get another 500gb 7200.11 and run in RAID 0, you will notice the difference in loading times and such, but its not a necessity
