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 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
