intel core 2 duo Processor with Asus P5W DH Deluxe Mother board?

Question

what do you guys think?
my only concern is if motherboard FSB will match that of the processor?

any good feedback is appreciated
no useless comments unless you want points

wat kind of DDR2 memory you think ii should get with those 2?

p5n32 doesnot have quad core capability and i am keeping that in mind.

thanks

instead of buying 2 1gb modules or 1 1gb. i am gona buy 1 2gb module to cover my self for future upgrade

Answer 1

Yes the P5B series motherboards support socket 775. They even support quad-core for when you want to upgrade. Your specific motherboard will be able to support SLI or Crossfire because of the two pci-e slots, and it comes with the asus utilities to overclock your processor if you choose to.

For the memory you should look at two 1 gig cards probably. 240 pin, 667MHz sticks would work.

Answer 2

Yes it will work. I would personally suggest something in the P5B series though, the 965 chipset is better than the 975 chipset from what I have read, especially if you plan to overclock. As for the P5N the one guy mentioned, it will take quad cores, even if it doesn't say so the Core 2 Quadros will go in any board that takes a Core 2 Duo.

Answer 3

If the motherboard is a socket 775 it should be okay, but id reccomend looking into an ASUS p5n32-SliDelux, its perfect for fast highend computers and has a lot of extra features at a reasonable price

Answer 4

Core 2 Duo E6300 (1.86GHz,1066FSB,L2:2MB,rev.B2)
Core 2 Duo E6400 (2.13GHz,1066FSB,L2:2MB,rev.B2)
Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.40GHz,1066FSB,L2:4MB,rev.B2)

XM2S-6400C4 would be tested at Cass 4-4-4-12! All at 1.9 Volts minimum, and you have to be running a 1066 FSB CPU with this MB.
