Hi,
Got an Asus-m4n75td motherboard for the cheapest sli option (poor advice from a friend) and I am wondering if i should have aimed higher as the pci-e`s only run 8x...thought they were 16x.
So should I stick with Asus and go for the Crosshair family and if so, which one, NO,not changing my CPU..
When I do change boards I would like it to be a significant upgrade and have USB 3, about 6 Sata 3`s, and SLI on 16x.
Spec is below, all I want is a better mobo as everything else is new,want it to run 16 gig ddr3 too like this one I have now.....
Ta..
Chris.
