C2D Motherboard

[madman045]

Looking to move to a C2D setup using a E6600 and either 2Gb or 4GB PC5300/PC6400

Whats the near opposite of the A8N32-SLI Dlx I currently have with my 4400?

Asus P5W64 Pro
Asus P5WDG2 WS Pro
DFI 975X-G
Asus P5B Dlx Wifi-AP

Thanks

What do you mean by the near opposite?

What do you mean by the near opposite?

I was wondering the same thing, had me somewhat confused

What do you mean by the near opposite?

I think he means whats the S775 equivalent of the A8N32-SLI Dlx

[madman045]

aye sorry I wasn't clearer, basically the equivalent to what I already have.

overclocking isnt really my thing IE useless at it, so dont bother with it.

So best stock speed and features...

Does it have to be an SLI board? I found the 965 boards to be better if you have a single graphics card. What features do you need and what dont you need?

[madman045]

Id like an Esata port if possible along with firewire, but not essential.

I dont want SLI, but I would like one 16x for the graphics and maybe a 4x for a raid card

As many USB as possible and I would use the onboard raid, but having extra for jbod would be good.

I will be putting in it either 2GB or 4Gb PC5300, but the 4GB would be 4x1GB

If I can do a spot of overclocking, always up for a laugh!

P5B deluxe wifi fits the bill then. Great board as well.

if you aren't into serious overclocking then an abit AB9 Pro pretty much ticks all your boxes for under £90 - eSATA, firewire etc.
If you were a serious overclocker then the AB9 QuadGT would be an improvement ~£100.

Thanks Buff, the QuadGT did seem a popular choice, but I will take a look at the AB9 Pro.

Thanks
