Your input is welcomed and appreciated

ok, what is your budget, and what will you be using the computer for. i recommend a chaintech mobo, or the msi neo4-f. NCQ is basically just a marketing scheme, and has hardly any effect on performance. you dont need to worry about it.

 

[cg00]

so, it (NCQ) will work on any mobo's ??

The specific mobo is M-atx (gonna do a update)
and I dont really want to look at chaintech (previous expriences).

My budget is around $800

Thanks for the Input

What are you doing with the PC....gaming? office apps? browsing? photoshop? all of the above?

 

[cg00]

eep, sorry.

ah, it is for average games (FS2004, D3, Far Cry, Generals, .....) web, Adobe PS 7.0. MS office........

i guess all of the above.

NCQ hits performance like crazy. Go look at SR's DriveMark 2006 benches. You dont want NCQ to be on, trust me.
