[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;23988292]Just wondering can you go with 6Gb by having 2x2Gb and 2x1Gb together on that board? Would that work?[/QUOTE] Yes but performance would be slower than if you had 4GB

[QUOTE=Acapon;23991739]what cpu cooler on the ebuyer site should i get? will this fit? [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/177411[/url][/QUOTE] not worth it
[QUOTE=FINLEY;23992001]OP doesn't need an aftermarket CPU cooler unless he plans to overclock by a lot[/QUOTE] Someone who thinks that more ram = better should not be overclocking anyways.
[QUOTE=Slithersoul;23992020]not worth it[/QUOTE] will it fit though? [editline]08:33PM[/editline] [QUOTE=xxncxx;23992101]Someone who thinks that more ram = better should not be overclocking anyways.[/QUOTE] and yeh i will eventually overclock it
[QUOTE=Acapon;23992106]will it fit though? [editline]08:33PM[/editline] and yeh i will eventually overclock it[/QUOTE] Yes it will fit, but it's expensive for what it is. I don't know any good coolers so I can't recommend one
[QUOTE=FINLEY;23992253]Yes it will fit, but it's expensive for what it is. I don't know any good coolers so I can't recommend one[/QUOTE] Although i have gone like £100 over my original price budget, would all of these items be compatible together (making sure that the motherboard accepts it all as well?)

I think it will work fine.
[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;23997426]I think it will work fine.[/QUOTE] does anybody else concur? [editline]01:17AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Undomian;23988256]He needs to go for either 4gb or 8gb on a dual channel board. Since 8gb is dumb, 4gb is the way to go.[/QUOTE] changed the motherboard so the 6 gig can be accepted better :)
[QUOTE=ADT;23971871]LGA1366 processors are for faggots. [editline]12:47AM[/editline] Go instead for i7 860, it has the same performance than i7 920 but without the expensive motherboard and RAM (you just have 4GB instead but that's enough)[/QUOTE] [editline]10:01AM[/editline] I will not repeat this thing over and over again. [editline]10:02AM[/editline] LGA1366 is just a trap for idiots
Why do you all keep recommending that SSD, its very poor, for an extra £20 you can get [url=http://www.ebuyer.com/product/225415]THIS[/url] one, which is far superior.

[editline]10:02AM[/editline] LGA1366 is just a trap for idiots[/QUOTE] you say this but whats wrong with it? apart from the price? in 3 years time 6gig will probably be standard anyway.
1366 will be a dead socket in almost a year, so what's the point of having this socket just because you want (not "need" because you just want to impress people) 6 GB of RAM ? [editline]01:01PM[/editline] And you can't predict what will be standard in three next years

Because of the new Intel Sandy Bridges processors and their new socket (LGA 1155). [editline]01:59PM[/editline] And read this article entirely that shows why 4GB is more appropriate [url]http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/memory/2008/07/08/is-more-memory-better/1[/url]

Looks good then, although for keyboard and mouse I would get these two: Keyboard:[url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/119298[/url] Mouse:[url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142740[/url] Costs the same and mouse is much better
