Sometimes the hard way lol... Mind you, if wasn't for the overclockers in this world then pc's would be pretty boring IMO

Check out the sound card setup on my new board. Don't know what it's gonna sound like but it looks cool and I'm gonna give it a shot

You got all that for $99? Thats a great deal and it certainly has the specs for a great board..
I'm hoping that when the 45nm AMD quads are released I can use this board :
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4 AMD 790X (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard=
As long as Gigabyte release the relevant bios I'll be good to go, if not I'll have to find another board (I haven't bought this yet but have set my heart on getting it)..

never had a Gigabyte board but looks to be a good one.

ABIT's Guru Clock allows you to access and select system performance while playing games, listening music, browsing Internet or office applications in full screen without the need to stop or close the application you are running.

The only thing about it I don't like is the fact that it is green

Maybe I'll paint it black and mount it on the side of the case

They don't come with the newer cards and are hard to find, but I found one
