much better to use a P45 mobo...some P35 board don't support E8400s out of the box, they need a bios flash. very troublesome if u don't have another socket 775 cpu...

No, P45 chipset is 18% expensive and dont show FPS advantages, check www.tomshardware.com.

If you build a computer with and E8400 on a P35 motherboard IT WILL NOT WORK! you need to buy another (older) CPU and flash the motherboard BIOS then uninstall old cpu and install 45nm E8400. buying 2 cpus will be more expensive than buying a 45nm ready motherboard. this does not apply to all P35 boards, some of them come with updated bios. |

A Gigabyte or Asus P45 board seems to be the best buy, which might also be why they are out of stock in A LOT of places... |

You're going to get a nehalem then? even tough the clockspeeds are so slow? the fastest one is 3.2 GHz right? the E8400 can do at least 3.6 ...the benefit of a quadcore CPU will probably not be noticable for another 2-3 years...
I'm looking to but a new rig soon and i see no reason for quadcore, i'm going for an E8400 3.6-4Ghz on one core for just one game must be good enough...most games can only use one core so the fastest and most expensive nehalem will be 400-800mhz slower than the E8400. Or am i missing something?... |

Im talking about good computer with good price... for now the Dual core like E-8600 is the best option for gamers, I test a Q-6600 (quadcore) and i dont recomend, too bad!
DDR3 memory are green yet, the good ddr3 too expensive, i sugest a good ddr21066 Corsair, good quality level. |
