680i vs 650i

[mgrosh]

I was planning o getting the eVGA 680i board for $250
then i noticed that i can get the ASUS 650i board for $129

I am putting one 8800gts on it (slight posibility of adding a second in SLI in the future)


At a $121 savings is it better to get the 680i or the 650i board?

I would go with the 650i if you aren't interested in all the extra features on the 680i. Just wait for ASUS to release a new BIOS to (hopefully) help with the timing issues people are getting with their RAM, particularly with getting 1T. They're supposed to release it sometime in the next week.
