Hi,
Long story short, my PSU went pop and I thought it had taken my mobo with it so I bought another one from ebay but when I got around to testing the old properly it works.
My question is, which board would be better as my lower end SLI gaming rig.
Motherboard
M2N32-SLi Permium Vista (Old Board)
Specs http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N32SLI_Premium_Vista_Edition/#specifications
Asrock K10N750SLI-110DB (New Board)
Specs http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/K10N750SLI-110dB/
Hardware
Phenom II X4 940 3Ghz (Black Edition)
8Gb OCZ Vista Performance Platinum Edition
2 x GTX 460 1Gb
OCZ Vertex II SSD OS Drive
Soundblaster Audigy Audio
3 x 22" 1680 x 1050 Monitors for Surround.
EVGA 750w Full Modular Gold 80+ PSU
Windows 7 x64
Differences between the boards I'm aware of.
The Asus board will do SLi at x16 and has an nforce 590 chipset chipset but is NOT AHCI compatible.
The Asrock board will do SLi at x8 and has an nforce 750 chipset and IS AHCI compatible.
The research I have done suggests that x8 SLi doesn't quite cut it for multi monitor surround resolutions but I don't know enough about the boards to know if any of the others specs come into play other than AHCI is good for SSD HDD's.
If you guys need any more info just let me know and I'll add it.
Thanks!
