Which Mobo to choose??!
Last response: in Systems
Guyz....I am building a new system primarily for gaming. I m gonna buy the i5 750 and ati hd 5xxx series. But problem arises while selecting a mobo. In my country, the availability of p55 series mobo is a disturbing issue. May be u guyz wont believe me when i'll say dat the available mobos are:
Intel p55wb
Gigabyte h55-ms2h
p55-usb3
Asus p7p55d
I wz initially planning for crossfire. But i dont think these mobos will b gud for CF. Can u guyz suggest me which mobo to choose given i dont care much about usb3 n i will use single gpu. I was also wondering if these mobo can bottleneck my cpu or gpu. and can any1 give me a brief idea of usb3 technology and its benefit? Do these mobo support ddr2 pcie? How gud are they for overclocking? thanks a lot guyz.....![:)]( ":)")

Well, the Intel P55WB only has one PCI-e slot, the H55-MS2H and P7P55D and P55-USB3 have two PCI-e lanes but the second one only runs at 4x, which will be a major bottleneck to a decent HD 5750 or more powerful CFX setup. So, I'd just go for the USB 3.0 board because it's the most future-proofed. No motherboards that you have selected support DDR2 - Intel dropped DDR2 support with LGA 775. The max transfer rate of USB 3.0 = 5Gbps, which is 625MB/s, which allows quick transfer for devices which can use the bandwidth.
