680i... which one?!

[NosBoost300]

alright.. now that i've got most everything done.. its down to the mobo... and i'm obviously chosing a 680i, as its the best SLi motherboard out at the moment...

with that said... which one should i get... i've been looking at evga.. and i notice there's 2.. one is about 160.. the other is about 200... what is the difference between the two???

I believe the A1 version is the one that will or already does have support for the 1333FSB.

 

[NosBoost300]

imma guess... that that is the more expensive 680i.. lol

Newegg.com - MSI P6N Diamond LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
this one comes with x-fi audio

 

[NosBoost300]

oooo very nice find.. and x-fi audio w/out a soundcard even better

now.. i've been offered an asus p5 something SLi on xtreme systems... no price was given yet.. but how does that go compaired to the 680i

i needa read up on some fsb walls and whatnot...

4 pci-e slots.. wtf is going on...

x16 x16 x8 for SLI and physx i suppose
the fourth one is on the south bridge i think

 

[Vaanish]

Personally I would say the P6N which Invisible sugested OR this : Newegg.com - ABIT IN9 32X-MAX LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

 

[NosBoost300]

oh wow that abit one is really nice.. but if anything i'd take that msi because of the superior onboard audio.. my z-5500s need the best!

i'm considering an ageia physx card sometime in the future.. so i want my pci slots!

lol.. u can't decide.. rofl...

but u still have your eXtreme Music don't you?

so just buy the normal eVGA 680i.. and throw that in there..

Does EVGA make good motherboards? I've had my eye on that EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1... but the price is a little too high...
