pcie 2.0: atleast 2 in 16x each
 
form factor- anything
 
relibalty- great i dont want to travel to MN to fix her mobo
 
3/4pin fans- as many as posible (must be able to power the cooler master HAF case)

lol newegg does not carry that anymore
 
XFX MBN790IUL9 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
 
but it does carry that
my main worrie is that the pcie both run in 16x even with all the slots filled and that if i put like mushkin 2000mh memory in it will it work
 
and YOU tell me if there are any other probelems with this board
 
is it a good mobo or a crapy one that will fail like mac/apple....... thats right i said it!!
thanks

Wow great price on that 790i, I remember when they retailed for $300-400.  The 790i will be able to handle everything that you are asking for (3 16x slots, 2000MHz RAM).  Though about the RAM, make sure you install it in the black slots, and only use 2 sticks, 4 will not work at all.

You could have 8GB (4x2GB) of 1600 or 1333 ram, but anything higher and you will have to only use 2.

You can do 3, though I don't think it will be running in Dual Channel mode if you do.

The 790i does not support triple channel, only dual, though you can buy a triple channel kit and use it, but like I said it will run single channel on all 3.

4 sticks will run in dual channel mode, 2 will also run in dual channel mode.
