What is the best motherboard for the C2Q Q9550 that supports DDR3? It is hard to find one that supports DDR3. Any help would be appreciated.

I have this mouse and I love it. Very comfortable. Has 2 buttons that you can set to what you want and 3 others for media players and zooming in and out on thing.

I was wondering if this will keep a AMD Phenom II X4 955 at a good temp if I want to bring it to 3.6-8.

Thanks.

It's a very good motherboard: http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews.php?/cpu_mainboard/asus_crosshair_iii_formula_vs_dfi_dk_790fxb_m3h5_face-off/14

It does have onboard sound:

Onboard Audio Audio Chipset SupremeFX X-Fi Audio Card
- EAX Advanced HD 4.0
- X-Fi CMSS-3D
- X-Fi Crystalizer
- Creative ALchemy
- Supports 1 x S/PDIF out header
- Supports Coaxial/Optical S/PDIF out ports on rear

Cheers

I just want to make sure that this is a good motherborard and that ASUS is a reliable brand to buy from.

And from what I read in the review and see in the picture, it comes with a sound card. Can someone tell me if it does, I don't really know and would like to know from someone who has it or knows about it.

Ok, I will go for the quad-core. It will future-proof me a little anyway. More then a dual-core. Thanks for helping me make up my mind XD

So it makes those programs and other tasks you do faster? So is the Phenom II X4 2.6 GHz for $140 a good value?

Which one should I get? Is it worth getting a quad core now? I am going to get an AMD one, so should I get a dual-core and then upgrade to a quad core later? How long will a dual core last me? Do games even use multi-core processors yet making a quad core overkill? I am not going to be doing much multitasking, so will a dual core be enough for gaming?

Really its not even worth spending any money on a pci video card. And there isnt a card in pci worth $100 you be better off buying a $50 motherboard with pci-e and a $60 pci-e videocard.04dcarraher

Where can I get a motherboard for that cheap?

Does anybody have any suggestions for an upgrade to a 8400GS PCI 512MB? I have been looking at video cards and with all of the GS, GT,'s after the numbers I don't know which ones are the good ones. And I only have the original PCI slots. The 3 tooth one and the long then short slot one that I have seen on Radeon cards. I dont have much money now to get a new motherboard so I am just going to upgrade my video card and then in the next half-year to year I will upgrade my whole rig. So any suggestions?
