[dutch45]

Hey guys what do you think of this mobo for the Q6600. Im also thinking of picking up a 8800GT video card to go with it.

Abit IX38 Quad GT Or Asus X38 Maximus Formula..

yea ive read good things on those, although the price point on this was pretty nice with the rebate.

Tomorrow I am putting my build together, and I am using Newegg.com - ABIT IN9 32X-MAX LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail If you are curious about how well it performs I will post on this thread again with details. (I won't be overclocking it until I actually learn how to overclock, so I won't be able to comment on that.)

Yea I would be interested in that. I actually looked at the board as well as the other 2 that Ste mentioned. My other hangup about this build is that I have a 64 bit copy of Vista going on here. I'm already leary about putting Vista on here and with it being 64 bit...well we will see how I like it I guess. Anyway, I look forward to the results. Thanks

the maximus formula totaly worth it, the litle lcd poster saved me 3 hours of trouble shooting just now. also i herd that aparently the 64 bit vista has more support then the 32 bit right now.

The more I read on the maximus the more I like it. I have been an ABIT fan for awhile now but this maximus has got me interested.

Heres what im thinking...unless someone can convince me to go SLi.

Good build. I would maybe suggest different RAM, just because I haven't had all that much luck with my Reapers.

What would you recommend for 2x2ghz ?
