1. I'm getting ready to build my new system with an E6600 Core 2 duo
in it. I know before with the P4s I knew that an 800mhz FSB CPU used
400Mhz but I don't know the matches for the core 2s and the new PC2
ram. If someone could help me out with that, that would be great.

2. What is the best chipset and board to get for the core 2s? I am
planning on buying an Asus mobo with an Intel Chipset of some kind but
have no clue even where to start with all the chipsets and boards
offered..

Thanks!

I went with the Asus Commando , an E6000 CPU and PC2-6400 Ram

I run the cpu overclocked at 3.2Ghz, and it doesnt even break 30c
