K this Christmas i'll be doing my first build. I've completely rebuilt laptops and worked on my own desktops but never had to shop for parts compatible with one another. I know a little about PC's but nothing extensive i just have few questions about some unknowns to me.
1. Is there a noticable gain in 1066MHz Ram compared to 800MHz? Are they cross compatible from MoBo to MoBo, and which would be more optimal to shoot for.
2. Would there be any compatibility issues i should know about concerning Processor/RAM compatability (More specifically, the E8400, and where DDR2 800 or 1066 is better)
3. I've done some searching and saw mixed reviews on some sort of Bios problem when using a Wolfdale 8400 with a 750i FTW (EVGa). Anyone have any clarification on this? Because these were a couple parts to my new PC.
Thats really all i can think of for now. I've recently been on these forums lookin around for a while. i like it here. Looks like a bunch of knowledgable people. Thanks!
