What would you guys say to this motherboard?

Seems a shame to submit a state-of-the-art processor to a relatively cheap board. It doesn't take much more to get a better one. Just an opinion. I've been using ASUS mainboards since 1991 and I'm a huge fan because they have all performed well and been perfectly reliable. I mean all. Thousands and thousands of them. Well designed and well made. I'm posting this on a system built around an ASUS 3A78 Pro and Phenom 9950. I've even been in their factory in Taiwan. Great company. Smart people.
 
Oh no, I 'm just glad to have an opinion. If I need to spend an extra $20-30 then so be it, it shouldn't be a huge problem. I was just curious :).
 
Ok, well can you guys link me some really great OCing motherboard from Newegg in a combo with a Phenom 940, preferably less than $350?
 
I would say to that motherboard if he feels like living in a dark metal shell he better get some better equipment.

Clearly.

Because I'm really going to get an AM2+/AM3 motherboard and somehow use my E6550 and DDR2 667 memory with it :P.

Huh?

It was supposed to mean that it was one of the boards featured in an X4 940 review that I read, which means it's probably a very good board...

But I also want to keep my options open to other boards.

My focus is now shifting to waiting until February/March and getting an AM3 motherboard, X4 945 processor and DDR3 RAM.

Oh ok.

Yeah, I wondered that myself. I think he was implying that I should get better hardware (processor, RAM) if I planned on getting a new motherboard, to which I do agree.

However, the HD 4870 is VERY good.

Yeah, that's the majority of stuff I heard. I'll end up going for something like Asus or MSI in the end.

I'm now waiting for the 790FX/GX AM3 motherboards to be released with the X4 945s. That'll be a good day :D.
