Ok I found too low costing mobos, that look pretty high in feautres.
which one should i get...
this one or...
this one

I need them too fit a 7600 GT

Also, whats so good about SLI and Crossfire, I can't find out if the 7600 GT has crossfire, does it. Thats all, thanks for the time.
 
They both run PCI-Express type video cards. The Asus board takes 16gb of memory? That's a new one. But the 667mhz is slower then seen on the DDR2 800 ECS model. I'm just a little hesitant on that brand.

Asus simply spanks ECS (Elitegroups). Man, there's no comparison at all. They do make a ton of motherboards for OEMs and they also make PCCHips boards. For a business they are ok, but for performance I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.
 
For a lower end board Abit probably gets a better reputation then ECS. Asus boards these days have a little more support for OCing as well as a good easy to access online support. Personally while running an MSI Radeon model the nForce 4 chipset blows away VIA and SIS from what I have been seeing even on Asus models. The VIA is a slow boat for going through the post tests compared to an nForce 4 model with the same model cpu.
 
The Asus would be my preference of the two, but there is a significant price jump. The 7600GT supports SLI, which allows you to use two video cards instead of one. Crossfire is basically ATIs version of SLI (so naturally the 7600GT doesn't support it). For the majority of users who don't intend to use dual video card solutions, SLI/Crossfire support need not be considered.

Here's another suggestion:
Gigabyte 965P-S3

What other components will the board be paired with?
 
I would certainly have to make a choice between card or board in order to run SLI or Crossfire since I run a card with the ATI chip on a board with the NVidia nForce 4 chipset SLI ready. I don't want to toss either. :eek:
