Mobo for i7

[L3v14th4n]

Building a high-end gaming pc, using the i7 chip, and think about using the ASUS P6T-Deluxe mobo. Anyone have any comments or reasons why I shouldn't?

It seems a good choice however note that"Update 11/14/2008: One thing we glanced over that needs to be pointed out is the fact that his P6T motherboard does not support 3-Way SLI; only traditional 2-Way SLI."

That won't be a problem. I plan to use one, maybe two, high-end graphics cards. No more. my budget won't let me

The P6T Deluxe is a sweet board as long as you don't recieve a damaged (DoA) board. I had issues with the P6T Deluxe and returned it. Was thinking of giving it a second try, but since i was not planning on doing any SLI in the near future, I decided to go with EVGA and have never looked back.

I am sorry i edited the thread, mixed it up with another person i am trying to help. My bad. The P6T Deluxe is a fine ASUS board, I was just one of the unlucky ones.

lol I see. I don't really need most of the high end features that the P6t and others like it have, but its the only one that supports i7, so...
