I'm not sure what chipsets are working with the C2D. Last I read, some were really picky about memory speeds. Does anyone know where things stand - are NVidia chipsets maturing?
I'm a newbe about computers and not sure about your question but I understand that you should check for compatibility with your motherboard before buying memory.
I found this site for memory and if you phone they should check for you.

computermemorycanada.com

Here's a place you can pick up an e6400 for $268 and an e6600 for $369 .
