So is it basically an ASUS A7N8X-X? I looked at that board earlier, It's the one up from the board in my first post, except it's cheaper.
edit: sorry just read you said it was a biostar, but the product description on the dabs site is for an A7N8X-X :unsure:
Ahh, well then, you will have good airflow atleast, so that will be to your advantage with the case.Quote:

edit: re the case, I must admit I was tempted by the blue neon :rolleyes: , but it includes room for a fan at the front, two at rear, one at the side and on one top so that shouldn't be a problem. I bought a couple of fans with it that I didn't mention in first post.
Also Epox does have some cheaper boards, but just a suggestion.
Anyway, That biostar does look like a good board, if im not mistaken, thats the same Biostar board on newegg that ALOT of people have gotten.

There is a review of it.
Also, Livy, how many Ram slots does your's have? The picture on ebuyer only shows 2, but that review has a pic and specs of 3 slots.
i cant see where it says a7n8x-x
edit: it has 2 ram slots
K, I guess the Pro and Ultra versions have 3 ram slots, that is just the regular one.
My bad, got lost in links. Indeed it does look like a nice board. Good price too. Any disadvantages you can think of?Quote:

if u aint looking for anything fancy, then it will prob be fine. doesnt have a lot of fancy features, but if u wanna knwo somethign about it just ask.
Does it include SATA? I guess that's just the Ultra version.
Also in that review it says dual channel RAM performance can only be obtained using 2 modules. Would I be better off buying two sticks of 256 rather than the 1 stick of 512 I was gonna buy?
it doesnt include SATA,
depending ont he price difference, and useage etc, on the ram.
also- the biostar baord doesnt have dual channel
Livy, what do you want the board to have.
And what is your Price limit in Pounds, or whatever. Heh, I will shop around for u.
:huh: its Skillian that is lookin. :DQuote:
