I am going to go with the ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard and I have a few questions.
First for the processor:
I am obviously going with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, but I am wondering if it is worth the extra money to upgrade to the Quad Core Extreme? It can be seen here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115011
I was just wondering the benefits of Quad Core over Dual Core.
If I decide not to get the Quad Core I will probably be going with this processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115002
Next up, with my motherboard I have a question about RAM selection.
I am getting 2GB of DDR2 Ram, but I am wondering how I should purchase it and if there are any pros/cons to purchasing them in the 2 separate ways listed below.
Should I get two 1GB bars:

Or one 2GB bar:

Thanks guys.
