Hey Guys!
It is UPGRADE Time once again, I am very happy with how long my 3.2Ghz Northwood lasted me. It played every game I through at it with flying colors... it never bogged down, or hiccuped.
SO with that in mind, I am going to upgrade to the "NEW" best thing in CPUs and go with the new Intel CORE2 Duo... and I am thinking about WHICH Asus board I will go with this time...
Here is the board I am considering, I am looking for a LGA775 board rich with features which I can get for a decent price.
I am partial to ASUS but WILL consider other vendors if they have a good track record and IF they are near the same price point...
EDIT: Current price point approx $220 with shipping to my location: zip code: 34638 Land O Lakes, FL
Here is what this Mobo has to offer:
Thoughts and Ideas? Lets go Ladies and Gents...
Reps+ to all trains of thought I find helpful or poingniant...
