Thanks for the quick reply, the only g43 i see is Gigabyte GA-EG43M-S2H I have never run a gigabyte board, i assume there is nothing "surprising"?

LGA775 mATX Boards?

I need a mobo to go with the Q9550 I am ordering, I'd prefer mATX, as I find it easier to install them in my small tower. I will not be using multi-socket GPUs, I need onboard 2-chan audio, lan, 1394 would be good too, there are tens of boards that meet those requirements, price is a bigger...

Content Creation

This latest gen of video cards seems to have a big boost in compute performance... but, i do not have a good handle on where the bottlenecks are for 3D content creation, i know that render tests, etc are generally bound by cpu, but i am not certain what factor the cpu and gpu play in...

X2 6400+ vs. Phenom x4 9600 or 9550 vs. Phenom 8750 x3

Thanks guys, I have always tried to go with the most power/performance that I can get. The 3800+ x2 is more than fast enough for my needs right now, (in fact I am using my C2D 1.5 GHz tablet more right now)but come September and school, I am going to desperately want to upgrade as I have a...

X2 6400+ vs. Phenom x4 9600 or 9550 vs. Phenom 8750 x3

i find this board is pretty poor at overclocking, maybe it is me though, it has been many years since I did any serious overclocking... it was a 1700+ and ran at something like 2.1 GHz after i unlocked it... but it died, and is thus one of the resons I don't spend much time on it.

X2 6400+ vs. Phenom x4 9600 or 9550 vs. Phenom 8750 x3

the bios updates allow the board to support all the released 95W phenoms, the 125W quads don't work.

Domain vs. Workgroup

i agree with Sianath, however if there is a lot of sharing of files, and maybe other things that need quality global permissions such as an SQL server, i suggest that you, or someone at your organization gets educated. its really not that tough, but don't expect to install win2k3 and have "no...
