ASUS is meant to be the best motherboard manufacturer for intel.

The ram you picked out is DDR1 and not DDR2, which is what the intel requires. There is also no point in getting expensive ram if you are not overclocking loads.


ASUS is not the best.

Not all newer intel based computers use DDR2. He was correct on picking the right ram *184-pin DDR 1*
 
Sorry, my bad *one of the best.

In games, the GPU is more important, so you will get better performance out of having a better video card, and a weaker cpu. And, all the venice cores overclock to around the same point on air.

Also, another vote for the full sized motherboard.
