| Re: Mobo upgrade no no, the quad gt is best for overclocking at high frequencies. A lot of the new x38's wont let you manually set the dramfreq:fsb ratio. Like my maximus wont

  | Re: Mobo upgrade Ok, well i have time i guess i need to start reading up on this stuff to decide which is the better buy. OC'ing will be important... otherwise i would not be upgrading at all. But that sound card was getting me excited. |

| Re: Mobo upgrade if you are gonna keep the q6600, then either should be fine. but if you plan on going really high fsb, then the quad gt is the way to go. what about looks? which one do you like better in that respect?

| Re: Mobo upgrade I think that asus one looks better. But if i was going off of looks alone i would pick the 780i since it might match my setup color better. After taking a close look at the asus and abit mobo i can see that the abit may look a little better... But i have heard that the asus offers better cooling.. Performance is what really matters to me... I mean the asus doesnt look so bad that i would not buy it. are there any benchmarks or stats that say the quad gt outperforms the others?
