Deep_6_InVesteD Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 As much info as possible... Help, I recently upgraded my system (cpu and 2nd 7600GT) and have decided to upgrade my mobo as well. I originally intended to convert my Ultra-D into a SLi board, via the #2 pencil mod... After great thought and extensive reading I have opted to purchase a new SLi Mobo. Where I have hit a brick wall is deciding the actual board to purchase. New Egg has always been my hardware supplier, and I planned to use them this times as well. Currently there is at lease 6 different DFI LanParty boards offering SLi, and little information to support the superior performers. Board for board, under $200... What board is going to give me the best results in gaming environment such as Counter Strike: Source? ? ? I know there are many factors, and much is opinion... I am looking for some insight from experience... Not money back guarantee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollietwinam Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Well I'd say ignore the Expert, and go with the SLI-DR... from what I've heard it's the same as the Ultra-D, whereas the Expert is more complex etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest erico Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 If I could get one over here in the Netherlands I would buy the Expert..but then, I like a challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlowerKing Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 I would keep your Ultra-D. It is my s939 board of choice for ease of use, stability, and ram compatibility. The SLI-DR is the same board but with all features enabled. I would mod the Ultra-D for SLI personally. If you must get another board, I say either SLI-DR or Expert if you're feeling confident. The Expert is a harder board to work with than the Ultra-D/SLI-DR, not impossibly hard but the Ultra-D/SLI-DR is tremendously fun to use and easy to get setup (especially ram wise). That said, I still vote to stay with your Ultra-D (it'll save some money too ). In my opinion, the Ultra-D is THE s939 board to own for it's overclocking ability, price, ease of use, and just plain sexiness! The Ultra-D is to s939 what the 250Gb is to s754.. THE BEST!!!
