non OC wise. bet the intel bad axe 2 for stability. because you want to buy it and forget it for years to come, you paid premium price for the board but you don't have to worry about it anymore. for those of us who OC madly, we have high chances to break our board, so I prefer cheap ones yet strong oc result, like the DS3 and p5b-e

You said it best yourself:
Relax Breath its just a point. and stop smoking cigarettes they aide in raising the hostility.

It's just...computer hardware man. Lighten up.

LOL me lighten up listen to zipperhead up there. Oh and it's a Red Horse although I admire the White Horse.
jlbenedict you are a fool and every quote you posted proves it as most of them you turned around and set them out of context. You quote posts of mine most people agree with and others that will be undisputed in the near future, You really are an idiot. Be a man and point to the thread. Anyone that listens to you is equally stupid as you only have the ability to lead them down the path of wrong doings. If there is a troll here its you. GROW-UP!!. Do you even know anything about anything. We'll see how wrong you are from now to 9 months from now. For your info USB 2.0 has 480Mbps and firewire has 400Mbps tranferspeeds. There is a slight delay in USB giving firewire an initial advantage. PCI-X is 64 bit and accepts 32-bit PCI cards WTF do you think it's for you moron, and the 100% not sure referred to the countinued use of PCI-E 16X well into the future in combination with PCI-X. So get your head out of your arse and smell the jasmin emmitting from the wounds of a rightous person.. You have the mentality of a vulgar 9 year old kid thats been raped in nightly gangbang sessions of his father, uncle and brother. Until you gain some knowledge about anything other than your bong don't bother trying to represent yourself on my level. I bet you have a shoe size of 8 and a piece of manhood equally unimpressive. Stop wearing your mom's clothes and letting your dad breath on your neck. You sick demented son-of-a-bitch. You are obviously mad at the world. Take your crap to your mom and your counselor and complain. She's the sorry-ass that brought you into this world, and the shrink will stop you from beating her anylonger. As for the MSI board being the best did I claim that? No I didn't. If you'd atleast read the posts in this thread you'd know that, but your to stupid to get it anyway so don't bother. As for the MSI P6N-SLI-Fi, Used in a non-overclocked application It certainly does beat the Intel BadAxe2 board and the most stable 600 series board to launch. Don't take much to make a stable board, ?If the boards weren't 100% stable at defualt settings from aftermarket companies that would be false advertising. They would be sued to the point of bankrupcy. Well since Intel isn't the only manufacture of motherboards I think that tells you a little bit about stability. On a further elaboration of the matter a board made to push the outter limits of a processor family is bound to have better power handling better componets better bios design and better R&D. Thos providing a more stable platform at speeds below its maximum, let alone at stock(default) settings. Since you seem to think you know it all you should know that already. With your intellagence you never even looked. Even if you did look you wouldn't know to look in the right place As it turns out your to busy being a little flamer-boy rather than doing your research. If you had doing your research you certainly would of threw in my face encoding video and audio or running Windows Office on the Intel chipset can beat the Nvidia chipset(currently) by about 8 seconds after a 5 minute session. This however is not enough to even move the Intel chipset from the bottom of an overall performace evaluation as it loses in every other test field. Thats not only with MSI boards thats with any Nvidia chipset based motherboard. As stated in an earlier post I don't prefer MSI and certainly I'm not trying to sell them the guy wanted an answer and with the information I've gathered and the boards he is looking at. Since MSI is the cheapest 600 series motherboards and offers a complete list of features that even you cant deny. Only being passed by the 680I chip with 2 times 16X SLi and official 1333 Penryn support if that even matters since the 650i will run it too and the need for dual 16X has not yet been achived even with two 8800's. I have chosen the MSI P6N-SLI-FI as the board best for Sesshin without spending more for nothing it's the only choice at $104. The Asus open box has since posting been sold out and it is no longer an option at its current price $134. Without further info from Sesshin I'll stand on my current choice. If he wants better performance from overclocking or has specific needs in a certain computing arena then I'll change my recommendation accordingly if needed. Your errogance and unbecoming has obviously turned him from this thread. Not that I see an offering from you jlbenedict, or are you to scared to give a real oppinion? In the applications that I use a system for there isn't any Intel board that can even think of comparing to my rig. Another thing! Not related to the topic of this thread, Is what makes the boards I mentioned far more and non-comparibly superior to your beloved Intel board is the ability with nothing more then a tweaking in the bios to patheticly out-perform at a much cheaper retail cost. Furthermore if you knew your ass from a hole in the ground you would of seen the other thread from the same user asking the same question since you have so much time to search peoples posts I'm surprised you missed that. If you were smart enough to read those posts, the posts in this thread and the posts in the threads you spot-picked your so called quotes of me from you would of seen the proof. Instead you just skimmed them for anything you could use in an attempt to make me look bad. Not that your smart enough to accomplish that. Go do something constructive, like scrub your bong with some Efferdent it stinks alot like you do.

This post has gotten way to long to address your other lies that you quoted. Let me assure you tho there is a counter for debate about everyone of them. That will untwist your deceit. Like XP being able to read a DVD-disc during install. Nobody said a damn thing about a cd/dvd player except you. How's it feel to be mentally challenged? Besides I didn't know cd/dvd players had drivers. Care to point one out? Take a few more Ritalin with an upsidedown Corona, but stop crushing them and putting 'em up your nose. Reading every review and scanning manufacture websites for news updates for the past 11 months looking for a motherboard and staying ontop of current useable technology and how it applies to the consumer, Not to mention being a Dean's list honor student with real street experiance and skill. I getting sick of stating this(you really must not read anything except your blasphamy) with 28years of computer experiance. Yep that probley puts me way ahead of almost everyone. That and being a Dean's list honor student with real street hands-on experiences and skills with the insight to see into your very soul and philosophical philosophy. I'd say very very highly ranked you can call me God if you want but I'll deny it, don't even waste your time calling me Jesus as he is part of everything and everyone your deceit ans scoundralism isn't fooling anyone. Stop wasting my time ya freakin' putz if you can't say anything smart don't say nothin' at all.

QUOTE: "Dim people talk about yesterday. Normal people talk about today, Geniuses talk about tomorrow"

Zipperheads/Cons talk out thier ass about things people don't remember from 18 months ago.

jlbenedict your less than a troll your a dirt eating worm. GodDamned are you. You better seek forgiveness or you'll be cursed with the wrath all your days.

P.S. Please respond! It's funny trying to see you come up with lies that benifit you. Hey how long you been out of jail anyway?

I'm buying Intel just to _iss you off! And I think I'll get all firewire and no USB.
