680i

[liquidshadow]

Is it really worth it to go to a EVGA 680i board from a DS3? Are the features worth the extra $100?

The 680i has terrific features that the DS3 doesnt, but dont expect much of a difference overclocking wise.

For me I chose the 680i because it was the most future proof, with support for quad-cores, 1333Mhz FSB CPU's, SLI, 3x PCI-E x16 slots, lots of SATAII ports, etc.

How so? The DS3 is whats picky with RAM, and not wanting to have RAM that runs higher then 1.8v stock.

The DS3 is not picky with RAM, you just have to change the voltage.

Yea, but some RAM won't work at all.
