...but it doesent work for me...

why not? what are you looking for in a mobo? sli, firewire, etc? plan on doin some oc'ing? also, imo the e6600 is a better value than the e6700. have you checked out some of the 680i boards? how much you looking to spend?

Well.... sli would be nice, and the 6700 imo has the better preformance for the money, the 6400 is ok but the preformance just isent as good, all the p5b's I looked at dident have the stuff I was looking for, instead they had vid and other stuff that I would rather do myself.
I've been looking at the gigabyte ds3 mobo, has anybody heard any bad stuff about this particular mobo?
