Hey everybody...
i'm planning to get a dual core cpu soon, the smallest Core 2 Duo from
Intel actually: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
now i'm looking for mainboards..the ones i had in mind so far:
Intel P965 Chipset:
MSI P965 Platinum:
+ cheap :)
+ passive cooling mainboard -> silent
- hard to get here in germany...
ASUS P5P Deluxe
+passive cooling
+- more expensive than the MSI, but still ok
+- easier to get, but still most shops show me a wait time...
Intel 975X Chipset:
Intel D975XBX "Bad Axe"
- expensive
+ good for overclocking (what i hardly do...)
ASUS P5WD2-E Premium
- expensive
+ available in most shops
Anyone got experience with one of these boards, especially driver issues
are interesting.
I'm not sure how much I should give on the overclocking
possibilities...I usually don't do that, wouldn't mind having the option
though (no extreme overclocking for sure, but perhabs a little)
Cheapest of all is the MSI...had good experience with MSI as well...
any else suggestions/ideas/experiences?
thx in advance
helge
