C2D Motherboard

madman045 · 29 Apr 2007 at 19:43

Looking to move to a C2D setup using a E6600 and either 2Gb or 4GB PC5300/PC6400

Whats the nearest opposite of the A8N32-SLI Dlx I currently have with my 4400?

Asus P5W64 Pro
Asus P5WDG2 WS Pro
DFI 975X-G
Asus P5B Dlx Wifi-AP

Thanks

You thought about the Asus P5W DH Deluxe

'Edit' Just read u probably want SLi - guess thats this board out

Do you want/need another motherboard with SLI support ??

Am looking at roughly the same upgrade myself..and these two motherboards are the main ones am interested in

EVGA nForce 680 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-000-EA&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=205

Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-221-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=205

SLI not required as I have a 1900xtx, but I would like at least one 16x slot and a x4/x8 slot for a raid card...

Esata would be ideal as would firewire if possible.

QuadGT fits the bill well.

I just upgraded from EVGA 680i to Intel Bad Axe 2 (i975), to be honest I'm well impressed by the overclocking and most of all the stability of this board by comparison, not to mention the silence (no whiny chipset fan).

I would suggest you avoid the NVidia 680i chipset if at all possible it seems very flakey to me.

madman045:

Have the Asus P5WDG2 WS Pro, C2D E6600 @ 3.2GHz, 2GB Ballistix PC6400, a very stable board, also has 2 x PCI-X slots, have been able to get a 3.55GHz (stable) OC with it.
