Asus Sabretooth M/B on sale at Newegg
Asus has a new "Sabretooth" mobo on sale at the moment, for the intel
920-930-950-980 CPUs. The features I like at the Mil Spec parts, USB3 and SATA 6Gb. I can swing the $$ for the 980, but it makes a nice system with a 950. http://promotions.newegg.com/ASUS/09...ber/index.html As usual, no business association, I just decided that a system running a bunch of VMs could benefit in my use. |

I'm a Linux guy, my only XP lives in a VM I use for testing. But I'll look on the CD and let you know. USB3 USB3 is a steaming crock of marketing **** at the present time. I find that a USB3 enclosure which supports SATA-II is a useful backup tool. Fast enough to backup critical data on newer system with USB3, compatible enough to connect to last year's systems with USB2. That makes it somewhat more flexible than eSATA, since virtually none of the older systems came with that interface. And SSD would be more useful on USB3. There will be more devices coming in the future, I'm sure. Not the same issue as the new Intel optical bus, that has no compatibility with older hardware. |
