Which cheap X58?

The new MSI X58 Pro-E looks solid, but non-enthusiast oriented. ($190)

The MSI X58 Platinum looks okay, but only 2 PCI-e slots and non-enthusiast. ($220)

The Foxconn Bloodrage and GTI look good, but have a hit-and-miss record and only 3 DDR3 slots. The standard is also a little pricey. And is there any real difference between the two? ($230 for GTI, $250 for other)

The EVGA X58 SLI LE looks great, is from EVGA, just want to know what you lose from the non-LE version. Also a little more than I like. ($240)

Any other boards you would recommend <$250?

+1 for the P6T. Take a look at the X58-UD4P (see: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128374 )
$240 after MIR. It has Tri-SLI,etc. You can enable SLI with a BIOS flash (depending on the board BIOS you get). This board is used by quite a bit of people at XS and 90% of them are pretty happy. If it's xtremesystems members recommended chances are it's a good board.

This is a good OCing no frills (as in Tri-SLI) board X58-UD3R. :

$185 after MIR. I have used this and it works very well.
Again, this can run SLI with a BIOS flash.

==========
Note: If getting ANY X58 Gigabyte board DO NOT install the DES (Dynamic Energy Saver) software.

Both boards I have have Tri-Channel, BUT due to the fact they needed to reduce price on the UD3R there is only 4 slots. How ever three of them will run in tri-channel mode and the other runs in single channel (or Flex). Either way, in real life the performance (ie speed,timing,etc) of the RAM have almost no performance impact on 99% of the programs. As long as you have enough RAM you should be OK. I listed the UD3R because it's the cheapest X58 board that I have personal experience with.

Out of the above choices, I would go with the UD4P or the P6T.
