1.) there is difference in the make, robustness and cost. many ppl (incl. me) prefer 3rd party built motherboards, the best brands to go in for are Evga, Asus (for extreme OverClocking) and highest stability, other gr8 brands wud be gigabyte, MSi etc..
2.) if u wana hv extra features like serious OCing, then go in for 3rd partyboards...

It supports 4 threads. Not as good as the i7 where HT results in 8 threads.

Sorry for the late reply. This wrong memory display, seems to be an OC issue. Will try to tweak some OC settings.
To test memory stability, run LinX.

thanks for the reply.
wikipedia lists i5 and i7 as smp processors where all the processors will share the same main memory, where i3 was not there in the list. So want to ensure whether i3 also does share it's main memory with all the processors, irrespective of the threads available.

Hi cool kids, help this oldie with a new Core i7 based system.
Things i have zeroed on:
Processor - i7 920/930
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5
RAM - 2GB x 3 Corsair VS 1333MHz [coz the proc is triple channel, am i right here?]
Cabinet - iBall Work Horse [because of the top handle and space below it]
Western Digital 1TB Green HDD [hope this is good, seems to have better Cache memory of 64MB than most othes, IF that matters]
Please guide me on:
Graphics card - I never play games. But i will get a 24" full HD monitor to watch 1080p movies, so anything that will fit without being costly from nvidia [coz some nvidias are supported on Ubuntu with any luck]. 2/3.5k is my aim here.
PSU - Will iBall Sprinter 600W OR iBall Black Stallion 600W(with APFC) be good or i need anything from Coolermaster? Nothing too cheap or costly, just needs to do the job done fine.
Forget about :
Monitor,
UPS,
Inputs,
Audio outs
And also tell me if i am getting something wrong here. Thanks

sorry for the really late reply (was not active here)
well..
my suggestions wud be this:
1.) Cabinet: go in for Cooler Master CM 690, will cost u Rs.4.2K
2.) GPU (Graphics card): Go in for a ATi Radeon based card here, sum1 will suggest u4sure, as im a nVIDIA fan so dnt knw much abt ATi cards (yes, they are cheaper than nVIDIA), and yes u need to increase ur budget here from 2.5K as u will be getting a 24" Monitor, so better invest in a good/decent gpu, so budget needs to be increased..
3.) PSU: Go in for a 550W Corsair PSU and plz no iBALL here, its nothing in front of Corsair (Or Tagan, for tat matter)
