More Information


Okay.. I hope you guys can help me. I'm planning to upgrade to Quad Core in a few weeks so I would wonder if you guys can help me. I was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations on motherboards that would fit my requirements.

Requirements:
6 SATA Connectors
(Postiion of SATA connectors need to be relatively centered on the board)
(Clearance problems >_< )
2 16x PCI-E SLI enabled Slots {For dual 8800 Gt's}
(Hopefully the 2nd one will clear)

Here's a link of the current situation. This is in a Lian Li VB2000 so other clearance won't be a problem.

I'm upgrading to Vista so I wanted to go ahead and upgrade to Quad core. This board will go to my server.

Current Wish List:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 65nm (Any reccomendations?)
2 x 2gb Cosair Dominator Series(Any reccomendations?)
Motherboard.. ???
