Hello all,

I'm gonna be upgrading my pc in the last week of april. I'm currently running a pentium d 805 (ewww) with 1 gig ddr2 ram and a evga nf51 mobo. I'm looking at the c2d 4300 and maybe adding another gig of ram. But i can't decide on a mobo. I'm leaning towards the gigabyte ds3 but would like to know what other options are good enough to compete with the ds3 in terms of value and overclocking. I've had some bad experience with the nforce chipset so i'm pretty much looking for a great value mobo that isnt an nforce
