Would a P45 Mobo be a good replacement for my RMA?
Hi,
I'm trying to sort out an RMA for my board. it double posts raising the FSB by even 1Mhz.
And I cant get it stable above stock for love nor money. Voltages seem to make no difference. just when I think that it is stable and has passed memtest/ 3hrs orthos. A few weeks down the line it fails to post and boots from the SPi (backup) BIOS.
So I'm looking at possibly RMAing and getting a P45 based mobo. As it is the only chipset available closest to the original price of my mobo with dual 8x Xfire or higher.
What do you guys think?
The place I'm getting the RMA only does Asus P45's so i was looking at this one, an Asus P5Q-E:

Or if I end up getting it from someone else, would there be a better board to get. What do people think of the P45? (dunno how long it has been out )
Cheers!
