Intel X6800 or AMD FX AM2?

Maybe a $150 board, but definately not a $100 board. Why buy such an expensive processor and a midgrade (at best) motherboard?
At LEAST get a P5B or similar high quality P965 board. Unless you're getting everything top-of-the-line, I suggest going with the E6600 as well.

Such a simple question could have been answered in just 10 minutes of research. You could have just read a conclusion of any review of the two processors.
What if I was to say that the AM2 FX piss?s all over the x6800. You'd just have to accept what i say, or go and google it and find out for yourself.
Don't be so lazy.

OP - so basically you asked a question that 10 seconds of research could have answered, then asked for a MB that doesn't really exist at the price you wanted, then just bought a totally different MB anyways - wow, best post ever.
Anyways, for your furure reference, welcome to the world of Core2Duo - awesome performance, but way higher MB prices than we were used to with A64.

yeah well, i was trying to budget it out a bit, then someone mentioned the 6600 and 6700 is the way to go and the 6800 was a waste of money. so i decided on the 6700. that saved me $400+ so i could splurge a bit more on the motherboard.
oh, and no i wouldn't have just taken your opinion. i was gathering multiple ones. hence me posting in an entire section and not just PM'ing you asking.

I quite agree. Of all the boards that you can get for core 2 this has to be one of the oddest choices I've seen in a while. Especially with the nForce6xx just around the corner and the Intel boards being pretty darn good these days. Especially after he said SLI didn't matter.
if you bothered to read, i said since i saved so much on the processor, i decided to just get a more expensive board. seeing as how i'm constantly getting loads of video cards, now i probably will do sli. i actually happen to have another xfx that is unopened i can throw in there with it. the setup i'm going from is my x2 4200 with an xfx 7950GX2, so i may as well just do the whole sli thing anyway. again. i saved on the processor so i got a more expensive board. please read my posts as well as everyone elses.
and what's wrong with the nforce4 chipset?
