Thee boards a freakin' awesome. I have the DFI Lanparty DK 790FX-M2RS board. It has 3-way crossfire :)

That's how I do it mate! ;)

It's just the this opportunity presented itself and I am considering. Normally I never "upgrade" rigs 2 and 3.

[AmH032uTuBe]

@toutagamon - You just re order your rigs and then all sorted. :P 1st becomes 2nd etc...

@AmH032uTuBe

Yes, I am not forgetting. But Bulldozer is still far away and if I would go to that, it would be for my primary rig, not my third one. :)

[AmH032uTuBe]

@toutagamon Don't forget too that 'Bulldozer' AM3+ will be out later on anyway.

[AmH032uTuBe]

@toutagamon - Sure, I don't mind waiting a week. I'm not sure about building this rig anyway. Or whether I'm just almost in a way 'hungry to build another computer'. It might be a better idea to save the money and build another rig with it.

I found a site that for £73-ish I can get an Phenom II X3 740 Retail boxed. The same site I found the LP M3H5 on.

@AmH032uTuBe

Hehe, nice.

I am probably gonna upgrade my small rig to an X3-720 and I have my eyes fixed on the GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3. Not very stylised but I don't care really. I like its 10phase CPU VRM which will be important for overclocking.

If you are not in a hurry, wait a week or so and ask me then. I repeat that I am not sure about this upgrade so you may hold on for nothing. :S

[AmH032uTuBe]

@toutagamon - Cheers for the quick reply.

Shiiit, I just realised, I've seen your videos a long time ago, gonna sub :P

Anyway, reckon I should go for an ASUS GENE MB, or anything else you can recommend me? I'm looking for something with nice styling like the DFI boards. I like my aesthetics, though it can't be really good on aesthetics and technically be a bad board. Thanks though.

DFI has stopped making consumer products mate. Support is still there I guess, but I'd suggest to go for a company that's still in business! ;)

[AmH032uTuBe]

I have no experience or knowledge of DFI. I'm looking to make an actual LANParty computer so when I go round to friends houses I can play games against them. I can't exactly haul around my heavy powerhouse, 20Kilo-ish rig.

Which is better the - JR 790GX-M2RS or the JR 790GX-M3H5 ?

I also can't find the M3H5 on the DFI LP website, so how am I supposed to get BIOS and Driver updates for it... if I were to get one...?

Also would a Phenom II X3 740 BE be supported on the M3H5?

And 2x 2600XTs in CF?
