I'm about to purchase this motherboard but there seems to be A LOT of controversy about it.
My new build is for a digital audio workstation/ general home use (not much gaming).
I want this pc to be as future proof as possible within reason since the nehalem seems to be more then a few years out based on my pocket book. Some of the p5q3 extras might come into use one day.
Likes on this board:
- asus
- p45 north bridge (most updated)
- ich 10r south bridge (most updated)
- fsb 1600/1333MH
- IEEE 1394a (I need 1394b/firewire-800 but believe I can buy a firewire-800 pci-e card.
- high speed long range wifi (could use usb2 adapter with another mb not sure if quality would be the same)
- memory max 16gb
Dislikes:
- ddr3 (expensive & nehalem wont use this type)
cpu- intel 9550 quad core
psu- corsair HX520w
hdd- 2 x 320gb western digital 7200 16 cache
tower- p182 antec
Any opinions would be great!
