My Abit IP35pro has died after 3 years with a 7F error which I can't find a fix for online.
I run a Q6600 at 3.2 and would like crossfire with 2 fast slots in case I get another 5850 at some point in the future.
I was considering going up to an i7 but not sure it's really worth the cost over just replacing my board unless anyone thinks otherwise. It's not like an i7 is particulaly cheap especially when I have to buy new RAM. Money isn't really an issue for me but I don't want to upgrade for the sake of upgrading.
So.
Options - buy an i7 setup IF it makes a noticable difference
or
buy a new 775 board, I've no idea what is a decent 775 board anymore.
