If it is the Abit IP35 Pro I would recommend that........or the Asus

Might I also suggest a Gigabyte board........the DS3R is good/ or the DS4 if you want a more high-end

I particularly don't like the MSI

 

[belveder]

I have a Gigabyte board which supposedly supported my system but now longer does, this is why I am looking for another board

 

[Silverion77]

Well than if you don't like the Gigabytes, I highly recommend the IP35 Pro.....many people are happy with it

Asus!

 

[belveder]

The IP35 Pro does look like the better one, I put the Asus 1st though cause of the WIFI & extra usb ports at the back, I'll leave it between them 2 cause on one or two reviews they warn that the MSI may have trouble with large video cards.

Performance wise is their much difference? I don't care to much about support as I use forums for any help, get better help than any company

What doesn't it support?

Either Abit or the Asus, if your wanting my input.

 

[Silverion77]

There is no performance difference........the Pro is more stable I think and has nicer features

thanks for the help, I ended up getting an MSI P35 Platinum Combo, love it, works like a dream, I will never go beck to Gigajunk again, it's not so much the faulty motherboard, anybody can have that problem, but the service and non existent RMA was pathetic.

If you get the Asus the P5K-E Wifi/AP is cheaper with almost exact same features. minus a RJ-45 and come copper

Also been leaning towards the Abit ip35 pro but it doesn't support ddr3 and the board is a little expensive.
