    P8z77-V Deluxe (UpDate CPU)

    >>EXCellR8<< So as I see I will still need to do the Chip Set drive update. Would the likes of the Lan, Audio and Firmware ect also be a separate update. I always thought they were part of the BIOS update. I used to check the dates and if older than the BIOS I would think it way inclusive. Bob

    If you replace your board a couple times each year $40 dollars adds. But if like me ever 3 or 4 years piece of mind comes more into play. Bells and whistles, yea that works for me.

    >>I wouldn't worry about Thunderbolt - USB 3.0 is screamin' fast and works with all your 'old' USB 2.0 stuf<< I did buy into the Thunderbolt hype. I just wish I could feel safe to use it. Is it just for video & drivers. No one seems to sell supporting items. Bob

    Asus P8z77-V Deluxe

    Mother board I'm king of stuck with. But memory needs help. If I have to spend 20% more money to gain 5% performance, I would rather be economical. But if I can gain 10% to 15% performance by spending 25% more. That's a possibility. These are rather ambiguous numbers. The problem is, my...

    Asus G75VW 32g memory

    So if I but a G75vw with 8 or 16 I will be able to upgrade to 32. Also If I buy a G785vw with 750, most common, I could add another 750 to create a raid. A bit large. I would rather find a 500 to create a smaller raid. Bob
