Planning on building a couple of trinity based systems and am looking at the various chipsets available.
First I have ruled out the 55 chipset as I want sata 6 and usb3.0. So it is down to a 75 or 85 based board. I plan on 16gb of memory and would like to know if any of the boards available allow you to allocate more than 512 mb of ram for video, that will probably be the main factorin my decision. I am looking at 2133 ram for the boards. Second is there any real performance increase by using the 85(x) chipset versus the 75? I would really prefer to stay below a 100.00 (newegg price ) for my motherboard. I really don't need 8 sata 6 but do want native sata6 for a ssd etc.
Thanks in advance for all comments.
