[Fatal M]

hello guys !

680i Link

780i Link

anyways i was hoping to get some help with that ! i need the best for gaming and fast performance and of course overclocking

so whats the best option for me guys... ?

if you got for a x38 or P35 board, these are ALOT better for stable overclocking. try the abit IP35 pro others will be able to advise you on different ones

well my friend ! those 2 are the best options ! due to country moving limits

so which one is the best and plus im setting a whole new rig , and i added something in the post about the tcp\ip and FirstPacket so if u dont mind checking it out for me

thanks again

[Pat123]

ahh the p35 chipsets are good dont worry about firstpacket..

Ermm, have a look at the Abit ip35 pro.. i personally have the gigabyte GA-P35 DS4 good board imo.

I think the asus boards are pretty good, though i couldnt recall the model names

i just worried about the firstpacket and the tcp/ip options cuz i play online alot and im hoping to get better results in online gaming pings , i get kicked out alot of times from pings problems

so my friend from the outlook and the in depth features which one do u suggest ?

[Pat123]

erm, well whats your budget?

What speed internet connection are you running? i get perfect pings with my DS4... though i think all on board network adapters are similar.. only slight gains or losses between each.. you wont see much difference

well for starters telling u where i live will answer most of ur questions

i had to move to jordan (middle-east) and internet here sux (download limitation - limited speeds <up to 2mb> ) and the internet prices are way to high man !!

like the mb is for 536 US dollars !! so im running on a 512 connection

as for my budget , well my dad is buying but still i gotta keep it to the somewhere in the average ! comes back to him in the end . lol !

my new computer specs are going to be the following ! :

motherboard : 680i or 780i

graphic card : 8800 gts or smth else (waiting for the next shipment)

rams : 4gb ddr2 (800mhz or might get the 100mhz )

case : Gigabyte 3D Aurora

power supply : 700w

cpu : core 2 duo

if i forgot something plz remind me

and just an F.Y.I , not everything is available here ! damn i miss best buy

so anyways for mobo's those are my only options

so my friend ....

I would get a non Nvidia board

780i - sucks

680i - sucks more

OK so I'm going OTT as some boards are great value, but unless you are 100% going SLI then get an Intel board

hmm , well thats some bad news for me !!!

since 780i sucks but sucks less than the 680i well im gettin the 780i . LOL

ill see some other options with this ! hopefuly ill get some gd options !

but still someone plzzz give me which one is best between those 2

[FarFarAway]

Why? Why do you need to know which is best between them? Obviously 780i is a better platform, but if you're not using SLI then I would strongly advise against getting either

If you wish to ignore good sensible advice then that is up to you.
