Re: Show us your rig

Grim, if you're not going to be doing SLI, the best ASUS board (and not too expensive) is the ASUS p5n-d. The reason I said the SLI thing, was because there seems to bee a major design fault: the PCI x16 2.0 ports for your GPU are too close together. You could fit two 8800GT's in there, but one of them wouldn't be able to breathe.. so NO SLI!! If I were you I'd risk the jump to eVga and their nforce 750i FTW. It's not expensive and a very good board. But before you buy something always check the reviews from people who have bought it on for example www.newegg.com and off course on the forums too.

I haven't checked your specs yet, but make sure your PSU provides enough power as well.

Hmm... the asus link takes for ever to load.. what was the name of the board?
