ok, i decided to go for AMD...

firstly, is 2100 ram speed better than 1800 ?

which is better, dual channel or quad channel ?

and lastly, anyone got a model to go for please ?
it needs to be AM3+ socket , thats all, but i want an UBER fast future-proof mo-bo....
i got £100 to spend on one.........

btw, intel isnt an option for me .... so no intel fan boy's

Many thanks in advance...... thing is, my paypal is messed up, and so i cant draw funds from my paypal acc, so gunna buy a mo-bo off ebay with my monies instead

This is the best one for the money i can find atm, although i dont think it supports 2133mhz ram or w/e

Also, just noticed PCI-e 3. ...... should i be buying a mo-bo thats ready for pci-e 3 ? will my GTX 560Ti run faster through Pci-3 ?

just buy a intel

+1

dont know anything bout AMD

i wanna keep with my current cpu atm, but need DDR3 and a faster board, then gunna buy a bulldozer or summat in a few months

btw, surely the speed of the RAM and the PCI-e3 bit is the same on both AMD and Intel boards anyways ?

Only thing I know is that the AMD was "designed' for gaming. (Intel more the office/video work). The bad point from the AMD is the temperature that can be too high and then it s game over. Amd in trash can. An Intel continues working.

thats the one i bought, awesome mobo.
AMD3+ Corsair XMS3 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz is £80

ahh, pc world have this on offer atm, only £90, think amma go with it tbh, is 1866 fast enough ram though ? and when will i need PCi-e 3 ? will my GTX 560Ti run faster with a PCI-e 3 slot ?

i you will need a pci-3 card to use it although it will run a pci-2 card at pci-2
I got this mobo to use with a AMD FX8150 Eight Core and it overclocks from 3.6GHz to 4.2GHz with just pushing a button.
you can also use it in crossfire for ATI cards or SLi for nvidia cards. you can add an extra card just to use as a PhysX card
