Best Bang for the Buck!?!?!?!

[N0cturna1]

Hey all I am having a really hard time choosing a motherboard to go with.. I want something that is going to last a while...

1. I am NOT running Raid
2. I am NOT running SLI
3. Running a Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz



Money is not really an isssue im looking around 80-170ish...

Any input is greatly appreciated!!!

Gigabyte P35-DS3L is the most suitable for you. Lot of room for OC,and cheap. Support the wolfdale

Grab one while they have 'em.

I just ordered my GA-P35-DS3L yesterday.

The IP35-E might be a helluva deal, but I know nothing about that board.

GA-P35-DS3L is by far the best and cheapest. n it can overclock very well.

Yes, it is a great lower cost board but it has a lot of vdroop and on some boards it can be excessive (>.1v). This can hurt OC stability under load and Gigabyte has no bios option to dampen it.

it's no better than the IP35-E & it's currently 50% dearer ...
