so hers a question what type of gameing mother board would you recomend for hi preformance?

 

[Sora]

It doesn't really matter too much...the more expensive boards usually only have a few more features for a lot more. Most boards of the same chipset have very similar performance. You have to figure out if you need SLI, better NB/SB cooling, RAID, Firewire, and other features.

with ease.. (this took me about 30seconds)

qx6850
2 8800 Ultras or 2 HD2900XT 's
Asus P5K Deluxe (for Crossfire) Asus Striker Extreme (personally i hate this board)
4-8GB of RAM


and thats your basic best system money can buy, but then you need to add the other stuff
