Hi All, A couple of questions please....... I just bought an Asus P5B to upgrade my system. Previously I had an Asus A8N-SLI. Now,m I'm not great at this stuff, but I'm not sure that was an upgrade?? Maybe I was taken... Anyhow, I have a GeForce 8800. Don't I need an SLI MB to work with that? Also, I noticed that this new MB has no firewire connection on it. So, I was debating on whether or not to buy a Firewire controller card, OR, but a new MB (like the ASUS P5N-E SLI) and use the on-board 1394 connector. Is there any advantage to the onboard controller over the controller card??? Thanks for your feedback. |
