Yet another URGENT HELP! thread....

[she8nom]

Okeys. I had a feeling I would be doing wrong if I had just posted this into the "tech" section, so better safe than sorry to post it here...

I was in the market for a budgetmobo that supports either SLI or Crossfire gpu capabilities AND can used with the C2D.

I ran across these suckers:

ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard

and this baby:

ECS NFORCE 570 SLIT-A (V5.1) Socket T (LGA 775) NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

To digest, the ASRock supports crossfire, and the ECS supports SLI. Now judging by the customer reviews, it seems as a normal person would have gone with the ECS.

But for some reason, (it was late at night, I was tired) I went with the ASRock. The mobo is slated to arrive on Thursday, but I just might be able to exchange it...

I'm no tech expert so I pose the question for you guys, which would you have gone with?

i wouldnt get either of those, your not gonna get good SLI core 2 duo mobos for less than $100

^ what would you recommend the cheapest "good" SLI C2D mobo?

Give the ASrock board a shot,

I have used that brand (a few $60 S939 boards)

and have had no problems, give them the benifit of the doubt and let us know how it works for you.
