Forum Overview :: American McGee's Honda Civic :: Get a Core2.

[quote name="Rafiki"]When getting a motherboard, check that it A) also supports quad-core cpus based on the Core2 if you want to upgrade on the cheap later B) supports over 4GB of RAM if you plan to someday use a 64-bit OS and want a cheap RAM upgrade I mention the quad-core as a cheap upgrade assuming more and more applications start taking advantage of multi-core CPUs, because Intel's new processor line is the i7 and it uses a new socket. So you can probably get a little more life out of a Core2 motherboard before you have to throw it all away again.[/quote]
