With this Extreme series motherboard, Intel want to deliver extreme performance for workstation needs, hardcore gaming, media editing, and still offer significant headroom for future upgrades. Whether it’s a single graphics card or ATI CrossFire, a system outfitted with the latest graphics cards can deliver unparalleled visual realism when playing 3D games. Utilizing the Intel High Definition audio chipset, this Intel motherboard can deliver 360° Dolby Home Theater audio through 10-channel, 7.1 surround sound. So you can enjoy every decibel coming at you in all directions. The only issue is that it doesn’t support 8 GB (4 x 2 GB) of 1600 MHz of RAM but only 4 GB (2 x 2 GB). So, you should buy the slower, 1333 MHz of RAM if you want to still need 8 GB. Don’t forget to visit the Intel site and buying only RAM that is certified. Otherwise, this mainboard works great. With Intel Q9450 Core2 Quad Proccessor and 4 Gb TW3X4G1333C9DHX Corsair DDR3 RAM memory, the memory works with a FSB of 1066 MHz instead of 1333 MHz.
