Can't decide on a board

[BonKerz]

Here are some I've been looking at:

Newegg.com - Open Box: ASUS Striker II Formula LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Newegg.com - Open Box: ASUS P5N-T Deluxe LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Newegg.com - EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i FTW SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

I can't decide what to get. I am floating more toward the 750i FTW
Is there a big difference in performance with memory between ddr2 800 and ddr2 1066?

If there isn't I'm kinda looking at these too:
Newegg.com - ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

Thats not what that means. It means that it's the "standard" however just about any DDR2 memory will be recognized by either of them.

The 780i you probably don't need. The 750i FTW is about the same as the P5N-D except the 750i ftw is known to overclock a bit better

 

[BonKerz]

wait so I could run any DDR2 on those? What would be the performance difference? and what do you think about the 680i boards?

 

[veg1992]

680i's (except the A1) suck with overclocking Quads

but stick with the FTW

for the win it is.

question, can i tell my BIOS to use SLI ready memory even if I'm not SLIing?

 

[veg1992]

Ya you can use the SLI Ready RAM even if you're not using SLI

SLI ready ram....lmao it will will work even without SLI...what a gimmick

 

[veg1992]

Ya that SLI ready stuff is all garbage

There are non-SLI ready stuff that still works in an SLI Configuration

uhh i don't see why any ram wont work in sli and crossfire if it fits and boots up in your board...my friends monitor had a vista ready sticker on it...i mean wtf a "vista ready" monitor? Gimmicks i tell you..

 

[veg1992]

Ya, I even saw Vista Ready Monitors... LAME!! /endrant
