    Are STRIKER or IN9 32X-MAX really worth or P5N32E-SLI PLUS is d Rightly Priced Answer

    So Everybody, what do you all think, Are STRIKER or IN9 32X-MAX really worth the price we are paying for them or something like P5N32E-SLI PLUS is the rationally and rightly priced alternate solution to these boards just with a slightly less fancy name and less hype. Your opinions please.

    really depends what you want I guess.
    For many people 650i will be the better solution & then there is the new 680iLT chipset to come.

    The P5N32E-SLi is exactly the same as the Striker, except the NB heatsink is a slight bit better on the Striker, and the Striker has a couple of E-Sata Ports.

    Infact if you peel the P5N32E sticker off.. It has Striker-Extreme written underneath. They use the same PCB.

    True, it does depend a lot on requirements and no doubt 650i chipset is a good solution but again i believe 680i has got some additional bells and whistles and that totally depends on an individual on what would be more suitable to him. Still there are people who are spending £235 approx for the likes of STRIKERs and IN9 32X-MAXs and i believe P5N32SLIE-SLI PLUS is a quiet good solution based on the same chipset for a fraction of money, therefore this debate exists. So are STRIKER or IN9 32X-MAX really worth the money we are all paying due to the additional hype created by these guys marketing departments?
    And how are you finding your AB9 QuadGT though

    Read above.
    It's exactly the same motherboard. Except from a couple of ESata ports, which can be bought seperately, anyway.

    it's not the exact same mobo - they're using a different chipset combo in the Plus to give similar functionality.

    & the QuadGT is v. nice & fast

    I'd get an abit. Either the QuadGT as BUFF said or the IN9 Max which is also very nice (but needs a BIOS update imo).

    Having said that the DFI iCFX3200 is great...but very hard to get to grips with

    No but I'd say it's abit's perogative to write one for their top-end-does-everything-"animal"-board
