I just purchased an EP45C-DS3R motherboard yesterday. I plan on using it in a home theater/server role.
I have an Intel Q6600 that I plan to overclock to ~3.2ghz.
I have not bought memory for the board yet. I am not sure about going with DDR2 or DDR3 - cost/performace will be a factor (i.e., is having more DDR2 memory because it's cheaper better than a smaller amount of DDR3). Since I want to overclock, what speed DDR2 and DD3 memory do you recommend?
Also, it was not until after I purchased the board that I noticed the "ATi Crossfire X Technology." Does that mean that the Nvidia 9800GT card I purchased will not work? Or does it mean that an ATI card will work better?
