Gigabyte or MSI Mobo

Hi guys,

At the moment I have the Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 mobo:

A guy want's to swap me for a MSI P6N Diamond motherboard + R1000.

I'll be getting my Q6600 soon and I have DDR1066 SLI Ram, a 8800GTX XFX card.

Can you please advice me on the best mobo so choose.


I like my GA but the MSI also looks nice and I just think it might actually work nicer with the SLI ram and so...

Else I might have to go with a ATi Card later on (but do I still take SLI ram or Reaper? Will there be a diff?)

Thanks guys...

I didn't look at your options there but IMO a Gigabyte motherboard is somewhat better than MSI. I like Asus too but the local Asus support is non-existing...

But if I keep the GA do I go Ati (later crossfire) with the SLI ram or stick to my 8800GTX with SLI ram.... What the hell is the diff between SLI ram and Reaper (Crossfire) ram

Does it make a diff?
