would say skip the 680i for the moment being. this chipset, while overclock very well, is a real biatch when it comes to memory selection. IMO P5B is still the board to get. Striker Extreme is a rubbish for the momeny being (i almsot smashed it into pieces)

lol at the top part. It's not hard to see why you get voted down. Also whats with you and synthetic benchies. Sandra is horrible (no consistency.)
i dun get the chance to play with DS3. on DQ6 only hit 355 P5H, all 2 samples didn't want to boot up. abit AB9-pro, i tot it would be another IS7-G, but turns out to be the shittest C2D board. now striker extreme is joining the same league it's decent, but for RM1.7k? no way! still, 680i seems very problemtic (see picture). i've never seen asus go this far.. go P5B la..haha
anyone read this? E4300+ASUS P5B Deluxe @ 1.8Ghz-->3.465Ghz http://www.hardspell.com/news/showcont.asp?news_id=32587
