Hi Again,

It'd build time and, because of shipping errors, I have two mobo's to choose from for my new sim rig.

So - should I use the ASUS P5N-T Deluxe or the XFX N-Force 780iSLI? They'll be built with a 2.4Gig Quad Core processor and 8Gb RAM, GPU is Nvidia 9800GTX+.

I guess they're pretty close in terms of performance, having the same chipset, but wondered if there were any preferences amongst the experienced users on the board.

Many Thanks,

Stuart

Personally I'm running FS9 on an ASUS and I'm VERY pleased with the results Wink

I have 2 work computers and 2 gaming computers all on ASUS boards and could not be happier.
