Which X58 board?

I was going to get a PT6D (ooold) but then I realized Asus has released more current boards.

For an i7 950 should I get

P6X58D

or

Sabretooth?

Which do you guys find better? Sabretooth is newer but X58D looks like a better board. Aiming for about 4Ghz permanent. Will be either a 12/7 or 24/7 machine.

Comes down to what you're going to do with it and that revolves around how many and what kinda slots you want. You a gamer and going to run a couple GPUs then the P6X58D. If you don't then the Sabretooth will do quite nicely.

Other factor is if you have a $100 that you don't know what to do with, instead of giving it to Newegg or ASUS --- send it to me.

Just kidding, enjoy!
