Cheapest 790FX with SB750 was $170, so how would 790GX overclock? This one looks pretty good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813186150

I've become a DFI fanboy overnight, so my vote goes to them, of course.

It's an AM3 ready AM2+ board.
And the UD4P has 8 phase power, which is a plus over the UD4.

yea thats for dual channel kits, but DDR3 its superior in its tri channel setup? and all tri channel kitsare expensive as hell....so which is why...and besides theres only upto about 5% gain going from ddr2 to ddr3...

So, why's not get AM3 board now? |

False. You can get a 2GB kit of DDR3 memory that has no heatspreaders and runs at 1066 mhz. DDR2 is still cheaper, and I don't deem it necessary to get DDR3 if DDR2 is going to work just fine and be a bunch cheaper. Plus, it seems like the AM3 motherboards that just came out are pretty expensive.

uh, am2+ boards can support AM3 cpu's just fine, they just won't be able to use ddr3, AM3 cpu's has both ddr2 and ddr3 mem controller...hope that helps?

However, if you buy AM2+ boards now you are stuck with Phenom II 940 and DDR 2. Isn't that on April and forward, AMD CPU are AM3 socket only? |
