Hi all,
Just trying to get some more thoughts for a friend of mine. He's after a mobo with 2x PCI-e x16 slots + he's on about getting a DDR3 mobo too. And he all so need to be able to overclock as well so he's able squeeze that little extra out of it in a few years time if needed.
I my self don't think DDR3 is worth it personally even more so when it comes to gaming but maybe it would be in a few years time ?. All though he should get better overclocking results with DDR3 than DDR2 right ?.
And is it worth going DDR3 in the 1st place?.
If you know of a review for a mobo you recommend please post a link. Thanks.
Budget for the motherboard is $300
EDIT: needs to be crossfire as it's going have a 4870 x2 and maybe another next year.
