Hi Guys / Gals (if any),
i am unable to choose between these two motherboards:
1. ASUS Maximus Formula
2. Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6
before any of you guys suggest P35, I am interested in crossfire only (and not SLI) at the full bandwidth.
Not interested in any other mobo except the above two.
being ASUS fanboy (I had a good experience with my ASUS M2A-VM HDMI mobo), I thought of opting Maximus Formula over DQ6. But DQ6 has a hell of connectivity options.
I googled in search of these but I got more confused as some people are complaining over the forms that DQ6 has a problem if all the 4 DIMM slots have been used. On the other hand ASUS has less connectivity options.
Also, reliability is a major concern for me as I am buying this in South Africa and I wont be having warranty after I leave SA. I want to use this with either HD3850 / HD3870 on crossfire for the next 2 to 3 years.
before you suggest considering VFM or Price Performance, the price difference between these two is around 5 USD.
please suggest me immediately...
Thanks in advance
