    Have DFI boards gotten more "user friendly"? Last time I tried using a DFI board, it was extremely hard for me to get things setup correctly in the Bios. It was a tweakers dream but too finicky for my tastes. I really want something that works out of the box with very little bios tweaking...

    So Gateway P-6860fx is the current best bang for the buck?

    I have a Gateway 6860FX. Have been extremely happy with it. So far it has been able to handle the games I play...WoW, Supreme Commander and C&C 3. I recently got Age of Conan and it can run it but frame rates are not what I prefer. I am going to upgrade the CPU to a T9300...From what I...
