Hi,
It is my first post, so hello everybody.
My DFI NF4 Ultra-D died on me so it is time to change my Opty165@3.0 ghz for something newer.
I did a lot of reading during last week but I am still confused.
I have q9550 E0 which board you would say would be better to clock it P45 (M2F) or rather X48 (Rampage).
I read that on P45 has better "support" for 45nm quads and it is easier to achieve 450+ FSB but I can see better OC in signatures of ppl with X48 Rampage.
Just to say I do not care about any kind of bundle like i.e. 2x PCIe x16.
Which board would you suggest (other brands are also welcome but not DFI I have enough of semi finished product).
