the classified would be best. it is designed for maximum overclocks which means that the likely hood of it failing at medium/no overclocks is extremely unlikely. though, the rampage 2 is still a great board. in the end, its about how much you want to spend

I'm trying to make the same decision right now. I got a deal on a new 965. It's going in a HAF 932. The colors on the Classified would look awesome, but have you seen the ROG controller for the Rampage? No more bios, you can do it all from a sweet looking panel. HMMMMMMMM. Anyone have the controller? Does it work well? Decisions and I need to move quickly. The EVGA rebate expires tomorrow and there is a pkg deal on the Asus board and controller at the egg. Any help?

I would get the Classified if I had money to burn and did not need any other piece of hardware. If something else was needed other than the mobo then the Asus would be a no-brainer.

does anyone know of a comparison test between the Rampage II and the Classified? I am having trouble finding a good evaluation of the 2.
Thanks,
Max

What kind of support does the EVGA classified give for ATI 5870s in crossfire, the MOBO doesn't show those specs?

All x58 boards are compatible with both brands. There is a site that shows the compatibilty list but I cannot find it ATM. I will get back to you once I find it.

Here is a video of a Classified running Tri-5870's ...

Oh and by the way, EVGA customer support speaks English properly.
