My reply or what I wrote about my system?
In the reply, the post by tizmeinnit is saying about how the second board is based off an nvidia nforce chipset while he prefers to use a amd based chipset with amd set-ups unless you want to use two nvidia gpu's in sli.
The
vrms are what deliver power to components and the ones in question deliver power to the cpu cores, cpu-northbridge etc. If these are low quality and you have a cpu which draws a lot of power your board will die.
And the last line I have a gigabyte 990xa-ud3 motherboard which allowed my phenom ii x4 965 to be overclocked to 4.1GHz on the core and 2.8GHz on the cpu-northbridge. My motherboard also has full support for upcomming Bulldozer based "FX" cpu's that amd are briging out shortly and in the 9x0 series amd added support for nvidias sli.

If you want to unlock don't get a 9x0 chipset board .
