Differences between i7 motherboards?

[PP Mguire]

Wow...that's an epic motherboard for $199! Is it new? I don't recall seeing it when I was looking and it has most of the features I like about the UD3R. It certainly looks better than the P6X58D in that it has more rear USB ports and more internal USB ports as well, also interesting is the COM1 serial port header on the bottom end of the board, I looked through all the i7 boards I could find and none of them had a serial port so I had to buy a PCIe x1 add-on card. That board also has some good looking heatsinks. The one option I do like about the UD3R is the IDE and FDD controller. I'm not using them now but you never know when you'll need these old devices (still have IDE devices in use in other PC's I have).



Not sure the Atom is the greatest analogy, Atom is also a really slow Intel CPU and it won't get you there anywhere near as fast as the i3.

OT, but id rather have the 65 Mustang Pony Car.

Never mind my processor wasn't pushed down all the way I reinstalled it and that fixed the problem of not recognizing ANY RAM slots. Also one of my RAM slots doesn't work I'm sure but I don't feel like returning it and waiting I don't think I will ever use all of them.
