Asus P6T Dlx V2 Vs Rampage II Extreme

[visakk]

Without going much into details of the total system build, I will ask a short question
I am looking to buy Asus P6T Dlx V2($289) or Gigabyte UD5($288).

But came across a deal from Dell to get ASUS Rampage II Extreme for $280 and WS Revolution for $273

Can some throw quick answer if Rampage II Ext / WS Revolution any better than the above mentioned two boards, especially when I am getting this for $9 less .

Also planning to buy OCZ XMP 1600 6GB RAM, is this compatible with the Rampage II OR P6T V2 board..?

Thanks in advance.

The Asus P6T Dlx V2 and Gigabyte UD5 are very good mobos, but if you got a deal on the Rampage II Extreme I would definitely get it.

The Rampage II Extreme is ASUS flagship motherboard.

The Rampage II Extreme is the flagship, but if you plan on running two dual slot graphics cards in SLI/Xfire the PCIe 16X slot layout is not ideal. I prefer to have an empty slot between the cards in dual card setup to let them breath a bit.
