Hello to all, this is my first post on this site, I've tried others and don't seem to get intelligent answers.
I'm building a Core 2 duo system utilizing the e6600 chip, I currently have:
-e6600 Cpu
-Zalman 9700 cpu cooler
-OCZ PC2 6400 platinum revision 2 (2 Gb 1gbx2)
-EVGA 8800GTX
-2 seagate 7200 sata 320mb (will set up in raid for storage)
-2 seagate 7200 sata 80gb (also raid config for operatiing system)
-Corsair 640 PS
-plan on Windows Vista Ultimate
My problem is, after doing much research for a good motherboard, I can't seem to find one! I've used ASUS MB's on all my other builds but have found that many are having problems with...for example P5W-deluxe or if I wanted SLI capabilities the P5N32-E. Does anyone have any thoughts on a board...even if it's NOT ASUS? I will use this system for both Gaming and Graphic design work.
