Re: Get up and running with Dual Core for around £155inc
you dont need super fast ram thats just a myth, most boards have the dividers to slow your ram speed down, but ddr800 (pc6400) is more than sufficent.

I'm using a e6700, its clocked to 3.7GHz (370 fsb) and my ram is matched 1:1 with that (anymore and its no faster can even be slower) at 740mhz.
because my ram is underclocked i can run it at lower latencies (they're cas 5 chips and im running cas 4) so get better performance that way.
