decided on the the DFI DR Expert, but then i saw this:

does it overclock well? i like it slightly better then the DFI, because it has the full 16x bandwidth, unlike the DFI... im looking for atleast 1.65V for overclocking to attain 3.2GHz stable in windows, which i know the DFI can do, but what about the Abit. i have two 6800GS's and am going to use SLI, so thats why its important to me. but back to the overclocking question....
 
I wouldnt take an ABIT board over a DFI. After Oskar Wu left ABIT and went to DFI, there boards have been not-so-good, and it definetly wont clock as high as that DFI.
 
but like i said, it would definatly do SLI better, im not worried about the extra 200-400MHz overclock from my processor, as the extra videocard bandwidth would do more to help in games
 
If its anything like AGP with 4x and 8x, theres theoretically more bandwith but 8x does not perform twice as fast as 4x so...
 
Your SLI performance wont be boosted to anything noticable with the 16X SLI chipset. The ABIT board isnt that great IMHO. I would take the DFI board over it but thats just my opinion :P

EDIT: In other words, the extra overclocking features and options in the eXpert outweigh the minor performance increase of 16X SLI. If you insist on getting a 16X SLI board, I would get the ASUS A8N32-SLI.

not really

im talking about you going from what you have now to the new mobo, spending $160 or whatever it costs isnt worth the extra few fps you will get out of it, if that.
