    definitely the msi platinum, it's like 90 bucks cheaper than anyone else. Plus, the placement and layout of the nb cooler will be conveniant for my sycthe orochi. (there will be a 120mmx38 fan directly on the nb.)
    Should put out some good numbers.
    As Los Alamos director J. Robert Oppenheimer watched the demonstration, he later said that a line from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita came to mind:
    "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
    Test director Kenneth Bainbridge in turn said to Oppenheimer, "Now we are all sons of b**ches." wiki

    I have the DDR2 gig Ultra Durable and it was the most fun board i ever owned, so i want to keep that going.....

    I just pulled the trigger on 965 + R2E + 3x1 Kingston 2000mhz sticks. The asscheek where my wallet used to be is lonely.
    I'm banking on R2E being as awesome as it's brother given sufficient BIOS support...and maintaining some resale value come december...

    that's no record by any stretch...
    fugger's gotten 25k + 18.9ns with gigabyte's...
    i woulnd't go with msi if they paid me, one reviewer already blew a fet on that board.
    i mean, might be good for a budget, but i still think gigabyte UD5 is a better board for just a little more.

    ASUS P6T is on its way along with the little number that's going to slot into it.

    Westmere is still a year off.. And it'll be a simple shrink with some decidedly grey AES-accelerating SSE extensions. Wut?

    Rampage II extreme or P6T Deluxe if money doesn't matter, Biostar Tpower X58 for best performance per dollar =)
