Perfesser Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I'm a big fan of high quality components, especially in the core of your system like motherboard and power supply. Asus is a great brand, I've used their boards in almost all my systems. Just make sure it will be compatible with the rest of your system and leave room to upgrade with better chips and periphery cards. If you're building a lower end system you can hardly go wrong by using the mobo recommended from the 'mid-range' systems from the sites I listed above..

Sulky Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 yeah mate p5n-e is just an earlier revision of that board, so unlying it would be the same, yours will have been tweaked and maybe some extra bits added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfesser Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Depends on your OS. When I was looking at this whole mess a year or so back I'm pretty sure the that a single card running DX10 will perform better than a pair in SLI or Crossfire using DX 9. That may have changed since then so don't quo ..... wait a sec, I made that mistake before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfesser Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think Kingston or Corsair has a "memory configurator" thingy on their website. Specs for your mainboard should say what to use as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
