I am building a new system to replace my P4 system that is about 4 years old. These are the parts I have so far:
PC Power & Cooling 750w PS
Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4 memory- 4 x 1gb modules
2 LiteOn 20x SATA DVD burners
1 Seagate 250 gb SATA drive- system drive
2 Seagate 500 gb SATA drives- storage drives
2 Seagate 250 gb PATA drives- from old system, may not use
1 Sony floppy drive
ABS Monolith case
The two boards I am considering are:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 Rev. 2.0
Gigabyte GA-X38-DS4
I plan on getting the Intel C2D E8400 processor as soon as it is available, probably next week
I also plan on getting a Gigabyte Radeon HD 3870 video card when I order the mb and processor. Does anyone know of any problems with the two motherboards I am considering and the components I already have, especially the memory. Any other advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Any comments, likes or dislikes, on the two motherboards will be welcome.
Thanks
