I have been looking at AMD motherboards and I am having reall diffculty in understanidng what the differences are in the various different series 870, 880 and 890 ?
At first I thought it may be that a case of 870 supports dual core, 880 quad core and 890 heccore, but reading around I can see that it is possible to run all core types in each of these boards.
The I though maybe the 870's don't support overclocking but i see that the MSI 870 board has a neat set of overclocking tools (OC Genie ?)
So now I admit defeat and say I don't have a clue, although the last thing i thought of is that the 870 chipset boards don't have sata III support, but then looking at the MSI board i see it has both sata III and USB III support.
So I thought I would get one of these for my 955 BE but I am worried that because it is the older chipset of the 3 possibilities I amy be limiting myself in someway, although I freel admit I have no idea what that limitation is.......
anyone can shed some light for a clueless noob
