Replacement motherboard for older Gigabyte (Help!)

[s0lace]

My motherboard just blew up on a 4 year old build. I HAD this board-

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard

What the new one has to be compatible with...

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA804

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor

I found this board... but am not 100% sure it is a plug and play. Can someone put another set of eyes on this?

ASRock G31M-S R2.0 LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

That looks fine, but keep in mind that the board you chose is a Micro-ATX and the one before was an ATX, just make sure your case will work with the Micro-ATX config

How will they be different? I assume the micro-ATX will be smaller?

Im running an older ANTEC SONATA case

A Micro-ATX is smaller but also has the screw holes in different places. I checked the Antec SONATA case and it says it's only compatible with ATX form-factor. Therefore the Micro-ATX's screw slots will NOT match with the ATX case

r0aring, thanks for your help so far, with the case only taking ATX, would this card work?

Looks good to me, although if I were you, I would not use that because of the semi-bad reviews
