anyone?

 

[oscaryu1]

780i? P45?

 

[funkysnair]

780i? P45?

can you link me to mobo's?

need urgent advice as the mobo will be purchased very soon (please!)

That Rampage looks like a good board!

Oscar, the 780i board wouldn't work, it's an nVidia board, it'll only support SLI.

 

[funkysnair]

yeh the asus looked like the winner to me brother

 

[Kornowski]

Gets a load of good reviews. ASUS are a pretty good brand, too.

Dawg.

 

[funkysnair]

well i got the p5k pro but i want full x16 on crossfire

 

[Kornowski]

You'll find this interesting;

Better to go X16 - X16.

 

[Kornowski]

The Gigabyte x48-ds5 is also an incredibly nice boar.
Overclcoks real easy.
The Rampage boards have a lot of great stuff as well.
And Korn is recommending something none Nvidia the world must be ending .
