Okay now what should I look for in motherboards?? Some have DDR memory and others have DDR2 memory. I am trying to keep this low buck and I don’t need something killer like a power gaming system

DDR2 is the future and is the same price as DDR.

You want to know something really fun about the Pentium D 805’s???

Apparently a large amount of people have been able to overclock these with stock cooling to over 4Ghz
