Right Choice?

[liquordealer]

After working about 16 hours yesterday trying to get a new ASRock P67 Extreme 4 to do anything at all - I RMA'd it to Newegg and replaced it with a MB GIGABYTE | GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3 Z68 R. What do you think about this choice?

Hi there,

I think it's a great choice! You're out on the cutting edge with this MB in that it is so new. GB doesn't change very much it their products, here the chipset and higher end SATA speeds.

Might tell the group the problem/s you had with ASRock so others don't have to have the same frustration.

It would not boot - as far as I could ever get it to go was to code A3 - enable ide. Apparently that is real common with this board - I wish I'd have done a little more homework - I would never have bought it.

That's probably a decent MB! Get your self a 64gig SATA III SSD along with a SATA III HD and set them up in RAID and that board will fly! Intel's new Smart Response Technology has got me wanting a new Z68 board!
