EVGA 680i SLI motherboard (AR version, P27 BIOS)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
4 GIG OCZ SLI PC2 8500 RAM
SB X-FI Extreme Music (using mobo sound now UNTIL CREATIVE gets off their buts and makes a REAL driver for this card!!!!!!!!)
EVGA 8800 GTS CO
500 GIG Seagate SATA II HD
500 GIG WD SATA II HD
(3) Maxtor 350 GIG SATA I HD
(2) LG Lightscrive DVD burner
3.5 floppy
(4) 60mm fans
(1) 120mm fan
Silverstone Zues ST75ZF 750W PSU (quad rails)
Samsung 20.1" LCD (6ms) which runs at 60mhz, and using a dual DVI cable connection
Vista 32bit with NV 158.18 drivers, NV 15.00 chipset drivers
2 GIG PNY Flash Drive (ReadyBoost)
I, and others, have had some problems with this motherboard (there is now a new REV A1 board out). As this seems to be pretty much a reference based board, I was wondering if there might be a better one out there (for games). I have read some good reviews on the new ASUS Striker Extreme, but in the past, many have complained about ASUS. Anyone have suggestions?
