@ Der FüHRER : good find,...... 780G is not an option now,..... so i guess its just 790FX,.....

@ parts : i checked my system,..... and your right,...... its doesnt show 4GB,..... lol,.... i never even noticed that,.... thats crazy,... lol,...

[Der FüHRER]

i think depende ra gyud sa motherboard manufacturer na bro, who knows because of that article manufacturers will release 780G-based mobos with better pwm

bro...i may be bias bec. i have a DFI Lanparty but for me this line of mobo(Lanparty Series) is the best...go for DFI LP UT 790FX-M2R ...like the rest of the other Lanparty this is good overclocker, great features and very stable.my opinion...

[Der FüHRER]

wow makasuya imong budget bro..hehe

if it were me i'd go for the DFI 790fx

bout sa imong concern regarding ddr2 800mhz..negligible ra man daw ang difference in performance sa ddr2 1066 with ddr2 800 in benchmarks, ma appreciate ra nmo sa pag oc. and since you are getting a black edition, it means i-increase ra ang multiplier when you're going to oc (guess lng), which means the memory speed's going to be the same. cant understand ngano 800mhz ra ang supported tho, preho ra man untag chipset anang uban nakabutang

but thats just me

OK,..... i just found out that DFI LP UT 790FX-M2R supports DDR2 1066 so thats a plus,...

@ Der FüHRER : lol,....its just that i like to start off with a real solid fundation for my rig,...

i'v always wanted a DFI MODO ever since they came out with a LanParty Series,....

go for it bro...the Lanparty series is the brainchild of the legendary overclocking engineer Oskar Wu...formerly of Abit and "transferred" to DFI...that is why Abit lost the title of the King of Overclocking to DFI...when it comes to features, stability, niceties in the bios and overclocking, DFI Lanparty hands-down gyud. The Genie Bios(bios w/in the BIOS) for overclocking is one heck of a feature.u can also save different CMOS settings and recall one of them during boot time...not to mention built-in na ang Memtest software...daghan kaayo naa sa DFI nga wala ko kasugat sa uban mobo...ang mga blings pa diay basin makalimtan
