computer for sale on ebay, it uses an asus p5q-se, but I also heard really good things about the p5q-pro-turbo-ip45 mobo. Then I read that P35 is being phased out and the p45 and x48 are in. So many mobo’s to choose from, I just want a solid one I can upgrade...

all the parts work together? 2) Are the extra SATA II and IDE cables necessary? 3) Is there a major difference between the mobo I picked out (EVGA) and the ASUS P6T Deluxe? I'm not entirely sure what to be looking at for mobo's so I picked the one with...

parts that I picked. For example, someone using AMD parts with an nVIDIA graphics card versus an ATI graphics card. Does it matter if you don't plan on doing crossfire/SLI or is it all personal preference? :heink: :pt1cable: That mobo that I have picked...

q9550)???? Thanks shadow, I really enjoy this mobo :D too bad its discontinued now-adays, I think it is (was?) the perfect budget build mobo. Only problem I have with it is with the 4 Sata ports - They're all full, I've got no more room for hard drive...

out right now at newegg) go for it. Mobo - If you stick with the Intel system. I prefer the Gigabyte mobo because of the special copper core - but both boards are good. Good article. Note that the X3 955 720 discussed in that article is the processor...

Asus 785G Mobo $100 (Best IGP out right now) AMD 955 x4 3.2ghz and 4gigs OCZ gold DDR3 ram $265 Then just combo the OS with a Hard drive. If only using 1tb drive and want the discrete GPU, get this mobo and then pick the G...

more money the CPU already is, not to mention the mobo I picked is slightly more on the Intel (as I need my ATA drives right now, can't afford the SATA upgrade ATM). Now, about the compilers, I read the guide to picking a CPU posted in this forum, it seems...

I notice any better performance out of the two 9600GSOs than with the one 8600GT, especially considering my MoBo? If I were to consider selling my MoBo and picking up one that could handle 2 PCIe 2.0 at x16, would that make enough of a difference to be worth...

freezer. about crossfire - all i'm doing is searching your mobo on newegg and looking on 'specification'. it says yes, crossfire support with dual x8 slots. if you want dual x16 slots i think you'll need another mobo. also - noone knows whether the mobo...

or on Anandtech about some new X4 AMD that were around 100 bucks. Asus and Gigabyte are considered high quality boards, some people consider MSI a second tier board. Now most of a mobo pick is preference, but Asus and Gigabyte are just known for making quality...
