What do you think is the best Intel chipset? I'm building a computer for a friend, and I don't know what kind of Chipset motherboard I should look for.
Dual. And RAM is whatever the motherboard is capable of.
EDIT: BTW, the board has to be widely availible. Like at Fry's or something.
Is the Abit AW8D Intel® 975X compatible with Core 2 Duo processors? On Newegg it says it only compatible with P4 EE, P4, PD, etc. But your list says it is.
AW9D is compatable, AW8D isnt. I personally think the AW9D-MAX is going to be a killer board. If he is going to use dual video cards, 975x CF is the only way. Then i would go with an ASUS P5WDH.
He has to use crossfire? Oh man, I don't know anything about ATI. What is the midrange series for ATI that could be in crossfire? And how do I connect them together?
