Hey,
Al'right, tell me. Tell me what is the most celebrated, luscious and the bestest chipset. -------------------- If I were asked to choose between two of them I wouldn't...
...I would do them both |

I think it is important for a chipset to have good long lasting compatibility/support and good drivers. Did you hear that nvidia?

[right][snapback]340879[/snapback][/right] If Intel had to work SLI into their configuration, they would be having problems too. Building a basic stable board is easy, it's building one that has EVERYTHING where your problems arise. Axis -------------------- [CPU] QX6700 @ 3.50ghz with TR Ultra 120 Extreme (XP Pro)

Heard that X38 is better than X48... google mobo X48 reviews... you will see. DDR III is way too expensive T_T
