Which mobo for Mushkin Blk Hi Perf Lvl2? Please help decide.

[Unit-0]

I'm torn between two mobos:

Abit IC-7 Max3
or
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe


The determining factor in which board I get is whether it can truly do 2-2-2-6 with this RAM:

If anyone with a 2-2-2 RAM timing is willing to promote either of these boards, please do. I'm going to buy my system in a few hours and your votes would help my decision a lot.

I'd like to know as well.

You'd be happy with either board.

I used the P4C800-E originally, but after the northbridge failed, I switched to the IC7-MAX3.

Both boards are great pieces of technology.

get the one that offers the most Vdimm.

Mushkin likes voltage.

Get the MAX3. It has 3.2Vdimm and Abit didnt skimp on the ICHR5 southbridge (hardware raid)

I'm an AMD man myself but the Abit IC-7 Max3 is good enough that I'd THINK about switching (if I had the cash ) Mmmmmm....Legacy free boards <Drool>

Im very happy with my setup, get the Asus board and save lots of money and go with HyperX memory


when you turn performance mode on standard in bios it optimized latency between the proc and ram, timing the ram to 2-2-2-5!

got cpu-z to prove it. stable in stress-testing as well.
