Hi

Having looked around it seems there are a heck of a lot of 775 boards but they all seem to be crippled in some way in comparison to an atx rig, i.e no dual channel memory, poor sound, very limited bios / oc options.

Am I asking the impossible or can anyone point me in the right direction with regards a decent one with good features thats not £120 like the new dfi ?

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for that would this be comparable to any of the above ?

I think someone mentioned to me not to mix Intel chips with Nv chipsets

*edit*

apart from ram voltages everything else looks ok, I'll go for it and pop it into my TJ08 with an e6600 / 4850 / 4 gb Corsair

Sadly not it wasn't from etailer

mmmm might just relist it and take a hit on the cost or a replacement, funny as a guy with the username starting WJA said he'd picked one up and it was a great little board.

cheers fella, having looked at his reputation I did feel able to trust his advice, tbh I've got an e6600 which I'd be happy with at 3.2 ish I might go for another q6 at some point which again at 3.2-3.4 is quick enough.

thanks for the valued info to date, it's much appreciated
