1] Sir the boards are Asus Striker,Striker Extreme,Blitz etc.
Well the Blitz series is based on Intel P35 chipset, if you didnt know, its not based on Nvidia 680i,650i etc..
2] I mean to say if you need to overclock then go for quad core.i agree that in normal conditions the core2duo is best ,but when you overclock a quad core then a core2duo is a history.a core2duo cannot compeate to a quad core when a quad core is overclocked.
Depends on the type of application. For example a faster clocked dual core will perform better than a lower clocked quad core in say , Super Pi. So basically it all boils down to what are apps optimized for. Quad core or multi core apps will benifit from faster clocked Quad core.
3] have suggested that because according to me ,adding a new ram of 1200 bucks in future is easy then changing the processor.
Right now DDR2 rates are low but that doesnt mean they have to remain like that forever, look what happened to DDR1, its very much expensive today,same will happen with DDR2 one day. Hence getting more memory when its dirt cheap makes much more sense.
If he gets the E6550, he can clock it to 2.66 [E6750] within a fraction of a second.But then this is just my opinion.
4] yes sir , i have played on the chipsets which are based on nvidia 680i.the things which i have noticed is that they are just for anthusiast people who want some raw power for a short time , but for everyday use the are not as great as intel chipsets
any particular observation that made you come to this conclusion ? Raw power as in ? Short time ? Pardon me but i didn't get you there.
5] Last but not the least, a list of some lackluster boards based on Nvidia chipsets,
1] Asus K8N
2] Asus SK8N
In short all board based on the Nvidia NF3 250Gb chipset, only exception being the DFI NF3 250 but that was superb engineering from DFI engineers.
So my point is Nvidia does make good chipsets but some of them have been horrible and some of them though good, have some shortcomings.
