Actually, with a QX, I would have to say that the QuadGT is a slightly better choice. Neither board will hinder your speeds due to the unlocked multiplier, but you will likely get slightly better performance at the end of the day with the QuadGT. It allows for more FSB, and also has VTT adjustment in BIOS, which is not very useful for most, but is for quad core.LordFrank said:
But the QuadGT does seem to have an immature BIOS amidst all of this, and the AW9 would not be a mistake either. It's very hard to make a bad choice if you have a QX.

Is there someway to tell if the strap is working?

It says what it is somewhere in the BIOS.

Ok had to ask. Wanted to check to see if there was a program or something to make sure it was working.
Well they have released two betas so far, the b02 and b06. The b02 fixed the failure to boot with a bootable usb device attached, as well as various voltage limit fixes, but hosed c1e, meaning not there anymore at all, and the b06 fixed all but one of the raid issues, as well as the c1e, just has it supposedly disabled, although it isn't an option in the bios anymore. Good lick finding them though as Abit's forum web site is where they are found, and it's been down for three days now, at least for me because I cannot access it. Anandtech has a QuadGT updated article explaining the beta bios stuff more, as well as a link to the b02, but not the b06 beta. They actually love the board, greatest thing since sliced bread type of love.
I'd say that seems rocky... heh.
I wonder how it will turn out, if BIOS updates make it a great board or if they just can't work the kinks out.
The 680i I have, I personally don't think they'll ever be able to work all the kinks... least not for a very long time, the problems with that chipset follows it to every board using it. It seems that like 1 out of every 7 people that buy one, just get a board the works flawlessly, and the other six I read there's posts all over the other forums... lol.
