There is only one board and its called the Striker Extreme. The other is the P5N32-E SLI. The only difference between the two is a backpanel display, onboard switches for power on/reset etc and a slightly more tweakable bios. The Striker is simply a waste of cash when the P5N32-E SLI can do what it can.
- Thank God you know that, or i have to give you another full explanation on that.
Rubbish. The quads can't overclock as much as dual cores. An E6850 will overclock to 4GHz or more on air while getting a quadcore to clock more than 3.6 or so on air is hard... very very hard. In single or dual threaded apps, the dual core will hand the quad its posterior.
- Really ? See this

Infact your so called best of the best Striker Extreme has severe issues overclocking quad cores to more than 400FSB i.e. 3200MHz. To overclock quads properly, the board needs a GTL Ref chip and nearly all NF 680i boards lack this. Basically means no quad core overclocking. Been there, done that... 680i boards are absolute crap for quad cores and the bigger more hopeless thing is that they can't support the 45nm cpus at anything more than stock.
- Dont think of buying 45nm processors which are atleast 6 months away.
What are you trying to prove here? As I said earlier the E6850 will be way way faster than the Q6600 in single and dual threaded apps. In a limited domain, the Q6600 will be faster.
- So you yourself agree that q6600 is faster then e6850.
Best of luck... I'd rather spend my 1200$ on something more useful.
- Like buying 45nm processors which are atleast 6 months away.
According to that generalization, a 7100GS is faster than an X1900XT
. Do you think that is true?
- Is That you misunderstood or you really know nothing ???
The 8800 cards are the only cards till date since the Geforce 4 series cards where NVIDIA has actually outperformed ATI.
- Thank God , That You Know This.
If you have no clue about the video card world, please don't spew rubbish over here. Go compare a NVIDIA 7900 GTX with an ATI X1900XT. The NVIDIA chip will be absolutely murdered.
- Dont Know about 7900 gtx but yes 8800 gtx will kill ATI X1900XT any day.
Thats exactly what you and notorious are spewing over here.
- And what are you doing ?.just wasting your time and space on team-bhp.com server with your invaluable comments.
