Another "Which P67?" Thread

[grimlan]

Will be using:
2x SLI 580s
1x Sound card
1x SSD SATA III

Not overclocking.

Currently looking at these:
MSI P67A-GD55

GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD3P-B3

GIGABYTE GA-P67A-D3-B3

ASUS P8P67

ASRock P67 EXTREME4

And two question, when the PS2 slot is half purple half green does that mean you can only use 1 of a mouse or keyboard in it? And does either USB or PS2 slot have a faster transfer rate compared to the other for a mouse or keyboard?

For SLI it must say in there "dual at x8/x8 mode", or "dual at x16/x8 mode" or "dual at x16/x16 mode".

The Asrock and the MSI are good for SLI, also the ASUS P8P67 DELUXE

^ +1 on the P8P67 DELUXE.

I own it and am currently using SLI'd GTX470's on it.
My opinion on this board is that it's almost the perfect dual-card motherboard.

I was hoping to find one with dual 16x/16x but there's only 3 of them and they don't have very good review ratings. Might just go with the P8 Deluxe.

Personally, would go for an Asus Board but it's likely that any that support your SLI configuration would suffice.

Been quite a few moans in forum about Asus MBs but I have always found them solid apart from recent chipset fiasco which was hardly their fault.
