Could someone please suggest a good motherboard for the Phenom II, running a 9800 GTX+ GPU, maybe with SLi abilities, but it´s not crucial..

Thanks

something to suit your needs from ASUS or Gigabyte

you better off with an ATi (crossfire, no SLI) based motherboard - nvidia products in general havnt been so great lately.

The Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5? and/or the UDP5 look real good will support the latest AMD cpu's and,,,work with DDR2..:)

I would upgrade your card to a ATi 4890 and go crossfire if I were you. I just bought my MSI 790 FX quad Crossfire board combined with the new phen 2 955 overclocked on air to 4.2 ghz. So glad I went with this combo!

I sometimes use Bose tri port headphones to game on dragonfang, not water cooling just looks like it is coolgod. I use a Xigmatek Dark Knight cooler, it moves the air!

I mean IN the computer soldier37... All the other stickers are for components inside. He has a Bose sticker, so I thought he had implanted a BOSE subwoofer in the case also or something...
