Hello all,
I've been looking at a few of your reviews for motherboards and have decided that you are the forum to ask for help on! I basically have come across 4 candidates that i just cant choose between.
I'll be getting a quad core, some nice ram and lightly overclocking them both. I'm not really interested in ddr3 or peryn future proofing as I figure this machine will last at least 4 years and I can always push it further. The machine is for media and photoshop, etc and the only games i will be playing are retro emulators.
so here is my list in order of preference:
- Asus striker extreme
- Abit IN9 32X-MAX
- Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6
- Evga nForce 680i SLI
There is about £20 between them (interestingly in the same order) and its my understanding that i wouldn't notice the difference in their performance. I do like the pretty lights on the Abit but i don't need the wifi. The striker has a whole list of features that sound very nice like NOS overclocking but it has a few bad reviews and is the most expensive.
Could someone please put me out of my misery?
