What is the absolute best "gaming" motherboard for amd and intel?

[Anonymouse]

I'm still having a hard time deciding on whether to buy a AMD Phenom II X6 1100T or a Intel Core i7 990 or 980 X Extreme Edition so i'm wieghing out my options for both builds. Also what is the difference between the Intel i7 990 and 980 X because they are the same price but idk which is better for gaming?

There are several. Keep in mind the second you fire that baby up, it is already obsolete. Next week something will be faster. It's Moore's law ...and it is the way it is.So basically, figure what you would pay for the i&, and divide that by 55%...that's what it sells for in 24 months. GET IT?

IDK how old this info is but Intel made a CPU that is cheaper and runs faster than the i7. It's some sort of sand-something. I forget. But yeah pretty soon there will be way more advanced stuff. Unlike consoles, PCs are adapting and evolving very quickly in this world. Deep Blue!

My first main board was Elite, over 12 years ago, intel cpu and geforce 256, I wasn't inpressed. After 6 months, I use ASUS mother boards, AMD cpus and ATI/AMD graphics. ASUS makes a variety of great main boards, check them out !
