Better Motherboard?

[He Hate Me]

I was just looking around once again, and saw that the ASUS is also a good motherboard and an easier BIOS than the DFI, I'am new to BIOS so what would you recommend?

OR

Also, are both of these good for the DFI?

both HDD are compatible with both mobos

the asus sli mobo has more problems than dfi, and plus, dfi OCs further and is more stable

sata drive > ide drive

Well on the hard drives, I was planning to install both on the mobo, or do they have to both be sata?

 

[diabloII]

why both?

just get one or the other

1 drive will be specifically for gaming and the other for music, ect

asus is pretty good, but i like the dfi one better.

DFI and Abit are alot better then Asus. Getting dual HDD is a good idea. I suggest getting both drives as Serial SATA.
