Does anyone have experience or comments with these boards as far as long term durability goes? I'm not a gamer and maybe plan on 10% OC'ng. The Gigabyte P35-DS3L has "solid capacitors" and comes from a family of "ultra-durable" motherboards. I've heard that the Abit IP35-E costs less than the Gigabyte board (at least comparing them on Newegg's site) and that some have said "its the best board for the money". I'm trying for a $1000 budget PC using one of these mobo's, E8400, 250GB HD, 4GB memory, 256mb video card, Vista home OS. I have Antec Solo case with Antec Earthwatts 430 PSU. Thanks for any feedback

Either board is good, might consider this one also, a few more $$$, but a great board for the money;

DS3L. Because of it's reputation/popularity as a good OC board. See:

You can definently go for more than a 10% OC with the E8x00 CPUs, even on stock cooling.
