Check out this motherboard

Gigabyte EP35-DS3R

What would you say if I said I choose the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 ?

 

[litlrabi]

If you chose the DS3R I would say thinking. If you bought the DS3L, I would say you need to return it. But I'm guessing you chose wisely.

The P35 boards would fit your needs, but I always find myself looking at boards like the X38 and new 790I. They are pricey and if your not going SLI or crossfire probably a waste. There are several P35 boards that are excellent. Another vote for the Gigabyte.

The -DS3R has the RAID support you say you require. The -DS3L does not.
