Abit AW9D Max or Asus P5W DH Delux?

[Swany420]

i am stumped on which board to get.. each has there pros and cons.. i am a big gamer and i am looking to overclock ... i dont think i am going to use the crossfire just because i will prolly just get a 512mb card or a dual gpu with 1gb so i wont use the crossfire... but the abit has only 1 pci slit which could lead to problems if i want to put some stuff into my pc...

the Asus has many pci slots which is better but i heard when overclockin on it , it has FSB barriers ... not goo when i am tryint to reach over 3.0 ghz with the 6600 C2D...

WHat does everyone think? which board should i choose?

I just got the Abit one because I need the extra SATA's and my experience with Abit couldn't be any better.

Shouldn't be a problem on either board, more like 3.6GHz plus ...

The Abit can reach 500Mhz FSB, the Asus P5W DH can only dream about it...
If you need something thats OCs well has got more PCI slots then go for the Foxconn 975X7AB is the best suitable for you.
This recommendations arent valid if you wont use Crossfire or if you are able to wait to build.
