I was thinking of doing the same thing with a CHIV and have a 6990 already using bandwidth. So do I just stick to SATA II.
Has the bandwidth been upped on the 990's? Sorry to drop in on the the op's post
EDIT: I was just thinking, is there even any point? I game, most of em are limited to 60fps which it hits and stays there.
All the games I play run fine without stutter all maxed out inc fear 3, crysis 2 etc so is there even any big advantage? The OS will boot faster I know
but I only sleep it mostly so it fires up almost straight away??
The CHIV is an excellent board, I will get an easy year outa mine with my 6950 2gb , I am running a Revo Drive with it and no issues at all.
