Looking for a different motherboard

Re: Looking for a different motherboard

Why what's wrong with the Asus M2N-E except that it wont work with most RAMs otherwise the reviews are pretty good. And u already going to buy corsair
which I know its compatable. Would u want the MB to have more than one Pci-E x16 or one should be enough so that I can find u some.

Re: Looking for a different motherboard

im suprised they make new boards like for am2 that don't have SLI
get sli gives u chance for nice upgrades in future....

Re: Looking for a different motherboard

They do so that people on budjet like me can buy it :p

Re: Looking for a different motherboard

Most people don't go SLI f.y.i
it's not even worth it in most cases

guess no one has a clue
