Hey everyone!
I'm looking into two motherboards in particular at the moment; the ASRock Z77 Pro3 and the ASRock Z77 Pro4-M. I've been looking at the differences and apart from a few more or less ports here and there, I did find one I don't understand... The Pro3 has a 4+1 power phase design whereas the Pro4-M has a 4+2 power phase design?!? Anyone mind explaining to me what in the world the difference is? And whether you'd recommend either one of these (I'm building a <$800 PC). Thanks everyone!
