In my ongoing battle between a desktop and a laptop, I've periodically been pricing components for my desktop. THe question I have is: does the north/south bridges of the motherboard have to be the same as the chipset in the PCI-E graphics card (ATI to ATI, nVidia to nVidia) or can they be different?
FYI:I tried to get help w/ this question in the IRC channel, but I was either ignored for the mindless music discussion at the time, or I wasn't getting through properly.
EDIT Also which is better: Unbuffered or Fully Buffered DDR2?
