DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert
DFI Lanparty UT RDX200 CF-DR CrossFire
DFI Lan Party NForce4 SLI-DR

out of those 3 would u go with the DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert?
would all of them boot fine with non-ecc unbuffered memory?
my case supports up to 10" wide by 12.5" high so that should be fine.
