Hi PogMoThoin
What I meant by new chipset was the new Intel 45nm Processir, my bad explanation of what I was looking for
. I think the x38 I have there is the winner some of the reviews its getting are great, specially when coupled with Q6600. Whats peoples thoughts about the RAM, I know I have it, but the one thing I know nothing about is ram and low latency etc 0 -

Either p35 or x38, since your buying a q6600, which is not a 45nm cpu. Could save money 2 spend elsewhere by going for a p35 which will handle a q6600 as well as an x38. That Asus maximus is one of the most expensive mobo's you can buy. Since your going for aircoooling, temperatures will decide your max overclock & any p35 or x38 mobo will do.Rattlehead_ie wrote: »Whats peoples thoughts about the RAM, I know I have it, but the one thing I know nothing about is ram and low latency etc
Get 2x2Gb Pc2 8000 or pc2 8500, Mobo's handle 2 sticks better than 4 & your gonna need 4Gb for gaming in Vista. Like this set, I've same set coming myself from Usa for 83e 0 -

Well what I was thinking was the if the x38 support the new intel chip least Im future proofing the mobo. As DDR3 supposedly wont take off for a while seeing as v expensive and some issues with it + with Intel pissing all over AMD at the moment the new 45nm chips will prob be the last intel chips released for a while seeing as there is little to no competitionPogMoThoin wrote: »Get 2x2Gb Pc2 8000 or pc2 8500, Mobo's handle 2 sticks better than 4 & your gonna need 4Gb for gaming in Vista.

Cool, might see if I can swap the RAM then for 2 x 2GBs and go from there.0 -

Not really, by the time you get round to buying a 45nm cpu there will be newer better mobo's. There will always be newer better mobo's.
IMO there is no such thing as futureproof, just get the best value for money at the time. I had an Abit Aw9d Max (still have), great Core2Duo mobo, bought it cos it supported quads in future, it did, but when i got a quad i ended up having to change mobo anyways as it had probs handling the quad & the newer mobo's out (p35) were better........lesson learned 0 -
