I'm looking at the following Gigabyte boards:
GA-EP45-UD3R $120
GA-EP45-UD3LR $100
GA-EP45-UD3L $95
Will be getting a Q8400 or Q9550 with it. Won't OC it over 1600MHz FSB & I know all of these boards support 1600MHz FSB. So would the EP45-UD3R board be worth it?
I don't need RAID but I fancy the UD3R because of the extra heat sinks & the extra SATA ports! I'm just looking for a slight OC (3.2-3.6GHz) & long term stability. A $20-30 save would better my chances of getting the Q9550!
Another thing, I've a 7900GT PCI-E Gen1 card. I know that they're supposed to be compatible with Gen2 slots/boards, but would like some confirmation...
