Re: What Motherboards Best?

Well, your looking at another £8 for postage from Komplete. Its best to combine postage by buying from 1 site.

As for the two motherboards, i would go for the Abit IP35. My reasoning is based on the fact that it supports the new 1333mhz CPU's such as the E6750 (I'm not sure whether the 680i chipset does?). The 680i does support SLI, however, this is slightly pointless as when you want to upgrade your graphics card, the likelyhood is that you are going to want a completely new one rather than a second 8800gts (especially as you only have a 19" screen)

So, it's still the Abit IP35 Pro

Re: What Motherboards Best?

Ok,

I shall stick,

also could you take a look for another better proccesor, for say £20 more

i wanted a dual core, and the AMD is dual core, forgive me if im wrong, but the AMD dual core is better than the intel you gave me? or is it already dual core?

The Intel one is dual core, hence the name "Core 2 Duo". That processor is one of the best in its catagory, and will take apart any AMD CPU you can throw at it.

They are the other cases at roughly the same price.

Re: What Motherboards Best?

why does that Abit mobo cost £110, the Dearest mobo ive seen so far, apart from that is the Asus P5B at £50

different chipset, and the P5b is a much older board it doesnt offer the same advantages as the Abit P35,

it does,

P35 boards dont support SLi, but a single card is fine.

Re: What Motherboards Best?

I use the nex model up of the EVGA - yours being a 122-CK-NF67 and mine being a 122-CK-NF68 and can say its a great mobo.

It will go above 1500 mhz fsb np if you plan to OC. But both mobos look good.

Re: What Motherboards Best?

If you're looking for a different case check out:Thermaltake (Tsunami and Armor are good), Cooler Master (the Cosmos or the Stacker), or Gigabyte's Aurora.

Re: What Motherboards Best?

Hey thanks for reccomended cases, not to keen on those, i really want one with USB, Mic, Ect.. on front, not behind a door, that could get annoying opening a door and having it open to use your headset.

Case could get damaged maybe....

Thanks for feedback

:salute:

Re: What Motherboards Best?

Gigabytes Aurora has gotten good reviews and has USB and Audio connetions beneath the door.
