Can someone look at these ASUS motherboards?
I need a decent cheap motherboard.
I've narrowed it down to a couple and I was wondering if someone could tell me the differences.
For example, what are the main differences between these:
Newegg.com - ASUS M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
and
Newegg.com - ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
They pretty much sound the same to me. They both have USB3.0, 6GB SATA, 8 channel audio, ATI 4250 HD onboard, DDR3, AM3, etc etc other then ones ATX and ones Micro ATX.
Oh and I noted that one has 2x pci-e for SLI video cards I suppose but, if you have dual gpu video card anyway like an ATI something or another HD X2, wouldn't that then not matter anyway?
I have a ATI 3870 HD X2 I was going to use with the motherboard.
I actually ordered this one, and it's here now:
Newegg.com - ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
I'm sorta thinking maybe I should have gotten the other one? I dont know if it really matters though. I thought I would ask before I open the box and start building. Actually, I can't build it til tomorrow morning, my DDR3 was shipped separately and won't be here til tomorrow.
