that's what I;ve got already but Ive just ordered the The D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655) but can't seem to find a pci card to mach it..> i looked on the main D-Link page and says i should get 2 makes 1. The D-Link Xtreme N™ PCI Express (PCIe) Desktop Adapter (DWA-556) is a draft 802.11n and 2. The D-Link Xtreme N™ Desktop Adapter (DWA-552) is a draft 802.11n. I'm living in Germany but can't find where to buy one... anywhere in Europe. Any suggestions what to get or where i can get one..?Need It for Gaming.

whats with the ram..? ive already orderd it and i only have win xp pro 32 bit....

you got me worried there i was searching the web to find out whats with my ram... any help with the PCI WAN..

Well The Good Thing with the striker not only because it seems a great MB but you get a good software package and you get i think a good FX sound card what saved me a good bit on buying a FX i fatality champion sound card. so taking that in to account its a bargain

E6850 should have more cache so its not just a different clock speed btw. Get Vista mate, seriously, and for a wireless adapter get a wireless game adapter, that, with Vista you get DX10. which is good. Not saying Vista is wonderful but your PC should muscle through. ahahaha

Get bigger monitor ffs one that does 16500*1080 or better to really make your games look great!

Hope that helps

I don't think I could have said it better myself, doesn't look like a lot of happy people on that link, from the few that I read!

For sure, I know some folks have said it is really good, but to be honest, I know a lot of people who have just trashed the board as well. I think it could be better, and for the price, I would insist it be better. Oh, and to top it off, the Customer support is well, how do you say lacking....

Don’t get me wrong, I was a big ASUS fan for a long time, back in about 2001-2002, but these days, I can’t support them anymore.

Anyway, just my two cents!

Ah, I assume you already made the purchase (I should have figured from the first part of this post ), well that is still a good board, no doubts, it just could take some work to get it running the way you want.

Thanks for the Tip on the 547 pci card... i guess that's going to be the best i can get in europe. Yes i have ordered all the above ( Hardware) hope they come Monday. I will post how all goes with the build.. IE mother board and all..
