What is it about that board/chipset you 'love' so much?

Seeing as u don't have a USB 3.0 device to test the feature you can leave that out of the list.

it bess up dan

I'm quite happy with my P45 (now seemingly) "ole ass" motherboard.

I must say though... the intel atom setup i have here it too cute (yes i said it again) but i was impressed it starts up faster than all of my PC's (at least i find so mainly because my other pc's have XP as well) even though it has a 5400rpm and an atom chip... maybe cuz it new and single booting

[speedaholic]

well HCCA... what do you have against it??? i got it for a gud price! i have alot of OC options to choose from... msi has never failed me to date... so i will continue to swear by them! the board has some relly nice features.. i mean it is a little old by now! but i wont goin buyin a new MB every 2-3 months jes so i cud have the latest! so there u go!

[jm3]

I never said that i was against anything.

Was just curious as to why you love it so much and why you think it 'owns all'.

I opted for the ASUS P8P67 Deluxe after seeing Adobe CS5 results using it with an i7 2600k

Or change in registry and then correct in bios if you forget and a must install is Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager

[Chiney]

^^ that should be your last option though.

ditto with the manager!

Indeed last option i remember when i get back my SSD and i get a score of 6.5 i was like wha then i switch to bios blue screen then i remember oh man was that silly, so had to choose between a reinstall or short cut. All in All 7.4 ftw yes

I need some quick advice here, if i'm planning to run nvidia surround on 3 monitors. Does anyone know if they have to be the exact same model or can I mix and match from different brands?

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

the monitors can be different brands

[Virus]

the monitors can be different brands

According to Nvidia uncle Duane they must be the same

aww crap that sucks, I got my hopes up when i read i could mix and match, sadly too much 3d images hurts my eyes, but how are the lcd's in 2d? can you say if they are better than the Samsung MD230X3?
