I don't know much about motherboards, which one would give me the best performance for my money?

Its your call, there really wont be much noticeable difference between the two. espresso8097 Posted at 1:43 pm on Nov. 4, 2008 Quote: from Quantumleaper at 10:21 am on Nov. 4, 2008 please buy from newegg. all other places are a rip off I have gotten stuff cheaper from both Geeks.com and TigerDirect.com (and in store).  And I have gotten stuff the day after I ordered it with 3-10 day shipping.  But, Newegg and TigerDirect end up being about the same price. On Topic:  I'd go with the Asus, bit better brand but both are good.
