OP OP D Dieter Baseband Member Messages 80 May 21, 2009 #4 I might eventually start using the slots, i know i was two card SLI at min. I just was wondering if it's overkill to get the 980a, instead of the 780a. which ever i get, ill be getting under ASUS using either the 980a or 780a chiposet

No, the chipset has not changed, the memory controller is located in the CPU in AMD platforms. EDIT: As far as I can tell, it doesn't even have DDR3 slots. So they're calling it an AM3 board, this doesn't make any sense. It's hilarious.

The 980a is useless IMHO. Save your money. Although, for the ratings, 980a is a mighty tempting offer for the money. worshipme said: EDIT: As far as I can tell, it doesn't even have DDR3 slots.

See GIGABYTE 790X (DDR2) or ASUS 790GX (DDR3)
