| Re: upgrading to conroe.. have a few questions It's ok.. but since you're so close to $150 anyway, I would no doubt go for the Abit QuadGT for $150AR. Newegg.com - ABIT AB9 QuadGT LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Quite a bit better then either of these. |

| Re: upgrading to conroe.. have a few questions What makes it better? I'm looking at the specs.. it has 2 pci-e x16 slots, but one of them only runs at x4. I'm thinking about like a year from now when 8800GTX prices are going to drop down and I'm going to want another one. I may want true dual x16 support, and it looks like only 680i and whatever intel's high priced equivalent offers that. do you think it's worth it to spend almost 200$ on a motherboard so I could go SLI?
