I am gonna get the Gigabyte or Asus one unless someone can get me a good reason for me to get the MSI board.
Will the Gigabyte board's northbridge stay cooler because it does not have integrated graphics??
I have a future build coming up and I would like you advice on deciding my motherboard. I have decided that it will be a AM3 platform equipped with an Amd Phenom II x3 720 BE and OCZ Reaper 4gb 1333mhz DDR3 RAM. I have gotten down to three different motherboards. They are the:
Asus M4A78-E...
I a going to get the 720 BE necause then I will have extra cash if I decide to upgrade later. Also on Newegg there is a cpombo deal that saves me an extra $20 with the gtx260 core 216 that i am already getting.
Feel free to argue against me or keep posting so that this can help other peole...
This makes me think to hard...

3. What are the write speed differences??

I can't wait for the release of the porcessor.

I am planning on building a computer by the end of the month and I want your opinions. I do not multitask very often, but when I do multitask I will have Firefox open with 15 tabs and 6 other programs, such as xFire and GIMP 2.6. I also do a heavy amount of gaming and video editing...
More specs?? what is in your system?? what OS are you running?? which new HDD will you be using?? IDE or SATA?? I need more info before I can answer that.
Try to install Logitech drivers to one mouse and 3rd party drivers to the other. Or you could somehow install the same driver software to different times.
Unless you already have nVidia graphics I would recomend getting 1. A newer chipset. Newegg has deactivated this which means that there was something wrong with it/it is completely out of date.. 2. Go with the newer AMD chipsets because there will be support for your processor.
I would get...
It is disappointing that Windows 7 will come in this many Flavors. I say that there should be 3 versions.
Premium: This should be the standard use version
Ultimate: This should be the enthusiast version that has extra gadgets and have less pop-up windows.
Business: This should be the smart...
