Think I have just died and gone to heaven... sort of

Didn't you just buy a 4850? I'm surprised that you'd choose an nforce board over an intel board, most intel chipsets support crossfire, that makes for an easy upgrade later.

I did get the 4850 and that Formula Rampage bored I want to get has an Intel chipset. Im confused O_O

And Gooda, I was actually tempted to get that DFI bored. Do you think I should get that it bored rather than the Rampage in the above link?

DFI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136047
Its DDR2 800 which makes it a little less appealing to me.

Or maybe even a board like this one?

The highest official spec for DDR2 is 800. DIMMs of any frequency can be inserted, provided that you supply them with enough volts and manually edit the frequencies. All mobos default to 800 first.

I wouldn't recommend a DFI unless you know your way around a BIOS, they're notoriously difficult to toy with.

That ASUS has a really nice/easy BIOS. I have one (ASUS board, not a Rampage though), and I really like it.

if it wasn't for so much Heat-Pipe around the CPU ( I smell HS conflicts ) and if that 4x slot was down at the bottom, I would have also gotten that nice DFI

I'm going water, so it won't be a problem :P I do wish that the x4 slot was on the bottom as well, I might have to get a regular PCI RAID card :(

~Gooda~
 
I know my away around a BIOS but that probably won't apply with a DFI board then =\ I think I will still go with the Rampage.
