Which Mobo Should I get

[Marcvs]

Hi I was wondering which mobo I should get

Asus Commando (P965) w/ 2x PCI-E Slots

OR

Asus P5n32-E Rev 1 (c55 northbridge)

I am wondering if I could run SLI on the commando as I do kinda like it more - I will be putting an 8800GTX in and an X-fi Xtreme Fatality so which mobo should I go for ?

Is the Commando or teh 680i better (given I will be OCing as well)

Commando looks very promising.

i would get the Asus Commando (P965) w/ 2x PCI-E Slots

Commando here too from that choice

which other 680i boards / Asus P5B would you recommend - also can I do SLI on the commando

 

[FarFarAway]

Kind of, though not with 8800 series.

680i is pretty unstable apart from the Abit IN9 which costs more than a new liver. RD600 is pretty nice but behind p965 for some things and no SLI either on 8800's

i suspect that it is sli compatible

i suspect that it is sli compatible

Suspect what?

p965 will work in SLI with 16x, 4x: but you need hacked drivers and 8800's won't work

very much GRR given I am hoping to get EVGA Superclocked KO 8800

then what is the point of the second X-16 grpahics?

 

[FarFarAway]

Hmm soz was thinking of normal P5B, this one has 2 x x16

Dunno if the 8800 drivers have been hacked to work on other chipsets yet, I know that SLI is not officially supported

A single 8800 will work well tho

I cant choose will the commando fit a Tuniq and 2Gb Dominator ram though>
