Once my build is done, I will have a new sig for all the techie/gaming forums...
========================================================
Buh-Bai boutiques, thanks to Tom's Hardware forum users, I now build my own!
========================================================
I am thinking about going with an X38 chipset instead of Nvidia (either Intel board or ASUS).
That said, is there any reason Nvidia cards would have any issues running on an intel chipset mobo vs. nvidia, at least a newer one like X38?
Obviously I would only ever have 1 (usually the best one out) but I just need/want stability.
Since Im not going SLI, seems intel E8500 plus a relative reference intel made X38 should give me stability at the expense of some OC and sexyness.
Then I just want one of my nice Nvidia cards, maybe even just a 9800GTX until they release a real next-gen card. I hear the 9800GX2 runs very very hot.
THANKS
