Hi friends!
I'm making the shift to C2D and hope to pick up the E6300. I want to run it at E6600 speeds without too much fuss -- meaning I do not wish to overvolt the chip or use anything except the stock cooler.
My budget is razor thin, so please bear with me. Will I be able to achieve my goals using a 945 based mobo? If so, could you recommend some good mobos?
If not, it looks like I will have to shell out a little extra for the 965 so please reco some good, no-frills 965 boards (along with price).
Appreciate any help.
