Dunno if this is too off topic but, im pretty sure you chose the all black Sli LE board because of the colour, but how does it compare overclocking wise compared ot the classified/E760 etc

I've heard it's a pretty good unit, I mean, unless you want to go to 4.5ghz + why spend the extra $250+ on a motherboard?

any particular reason you went with 6 dimms? cheaper, more available?
the reasons i see for getting a classified over a mobo such as this are that the classified's circuitry is designed from the ground up for hitting the highs. if/when i get one, i'll be aiming for 4.5ghz for sure.

as mentioned above, i can see the transfuzion in this, not that that's a bad thing, the transfuzion is a very very nice rig.
you putting in a drain james?
its like, top of my list for my rebuild haha.

@ Zero, I got 6x1gb because I got a good deal for them, I'm not looking to go for a high clock anyways, it doesn't really help much, the main piece of hardware that really helps is an SSD.
