i7 motherboard
Which one's a good pick right now?
Would like to do some overclocking as well.
Also I probably need to upgrade my PSU from my current 550.
what would be sufficient for running 5-6 hard drives, CD/dvd drive and SLI of 2-GTX260 cards?
thanks.

ah u know, P for plenty...
I have the original core D dual core so it's like not really having a dual core at all. I don't know what's the bottle neck anymore, but pretty sure it's the processor.
Which is a better board, the EVGA classified or the Asus rampage?
I like all the sata ports the evga has though.

the first gen Pentium Core D sucked so much the single core P4 hyperthread processors were kicking it's ass.
at least that's what I've found.
Not Core 2 Duo, those are a huge improvement over the first gen core D
