    Going to Intel... bye bye amd

    So after being a fan of AMD for years now, I've had enough. I'm physicaly and emotionaly drained. Let down after let down. My latest "investments" in AMD were the 9850 and 940. Both duds. terribly. How ever, sadly, i was able to get more out of that 9850 (a 700mhz OC) than the junk 940 (400mhz).



    I do own two 4850s. While yes technically they are AMD, i don't think that. They are ATI. AMD cant do anything good on their own so they had to buy out a company that could.

    So to my point. I'm going Intel, something i should have done a long time ago. I selling off my system and going with a core i7 920. My question now is what is a good solid mobo that is proven and can OC very well. I have an H2O set up, so I can keep the temps down.

    These are the ones i was looking into, what are your opinions?
