Yes, that motherboard is compatible with that RAM.slickchris7777

thx for answer

still bumping

okay now i just saw that i had ddr2 memory how noobish of me lol

now can anyone plz confirm to me that

motherboard : INTEL DX48BT2 : Intel X48 Express Chipset

processor : INTEL Core2 Quad Q9450 / 2.66GHz / 1333MHz

will be compatible with

ram : CORSAIR TW3X4G1333C9DHX - DDR3-1333 - 2x 2GB

im 100% sure i will buy all these parts...and for nehalem well i will wait a year or so

anyway games will run perfectly fine so why upgrade even more...

wow i was just cheking this website...

http://www.bjorn3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24824

apparently the nehalem 2.66ghz would only be 284$ ???

i dont think it can be the good prices cause the

INTEL Core2 Quad Q9450 / 2.66GHz / 1333MHz / LGA775 is 356.95$

so a new more powerfull processor would be cheaper than this one ? wow

like i said im gonna wait 4months anyway...i dont have the money right now

but i dont think im gonna buy nehalem anyway cause everything that is new and powerfull cost ridiculously too much for nothing

I love how people just call my your pc OUTDATED because it doesnt have a 'nehalem' processer...

Outdated? No. And, not under-powered...currently. It's just that with the pending socket change, the socket 775 platform has a rather limited future upgrade pathway. I too have a Q6600 and plan to run it until at least 2011 (unless an act of God occurs...). Penryn is the only upgrade I'd be able to make and that really isn't a cost effective leap, from a price to performance standpoint. I wouldn't invest in a new 775 build right now, unless it was a budget rig...just to get by until Nehalem hits the street.

i planned on waiting 4months before buying my pc so if i wait for nehalem will everyting i named be compatible ?

or will it need newer stuff that only works with the new sockets ?

I love how people just call my your pc OUTDATED because it doesnt have a 'nehalem' processer, I have a q6600 and two 4850s and i run crysis on ultra high with no problem (DX9 that is, DX10 performs worse and looks the same, and i just used ultra high mod for better visuals than the very high DX10 setting)

seriously, I just laugh at the people that go around calling high-end rigs 'outdated' because a newer processer or GPU is out. Look at the 8800, that thing was the card that EVERYONE had to have, now, with next to no new games since the 8800 was hyped for (Crysis) everyone is calling it outdated because of the realease of the 4850, the 8800 is a GREAT card! it is not outdated. I just learned to ignore people that hound after the lastest hardware just cause it's newer.

if i were you, the 3870s are fine, yes, but i would get two 4850s or 4870s, im pretty sure 1 4850 beats two 3870s for less buck.

and you have an intel X48 - Better to stick with ATI for that mobo.

hope i helped

thank you for the reply...

oh and by the way is that true that i need vista for blu-ray playback on pc ?

and can i play games at highest resolution without tweaking with windows XP or will i really need vista for max visuals ?

cause i dont mind vista but there are still a couple of programs that are not compatible and lots of people are having trouble with it...personnaly my ex-gf had vista and we never had any prob with it tho

well i made some changes to my pc plan...

i took only 1harddrive instead of 2 ( 750gb is enough anyway lol )

i took only 1 EAH3870x2 ( maybe EAH4870x2 when it comes out depending on performance and price )

i took a blu-ray drive 100$ cheaper...LITEON DH-401s- 4x blu-ray

and i added MICROSOFT windows vista home premium SP1

and the total is now 500$ less fot only 2100$

do you guys still think i can max out games like crysis, COD4, assassins creed, and such ?

[QUOTE="SolidSnakeJT"]

well right now the pc is 2600...so if it goes to 3000 thats okay for me

i dont want overpriced cards just because they are newer or have slight advantages though ;)

the EAH is between 300 and 400 depending on wich stores

so i guess between 500-600 would be okay...since i want 2cards it would be about 400$ more

enraged_caveman

$2600 Holy god dude, I can't even afford that and I'm........somewhat rich......I think.....Anyway, I'd bet it's the blue-ray and the 2 giant hard drives isn't it?

well of course that dont help the pricing lol

but 1.5terabyte now THATS some memory lol
