Post here from now on

I just got tired of trying to always fix my p35 neo2-fr. Stable as a Rock dont get me wrong, i hit 480fsb no problem. The biggest issue is the E-sata and USB, they just plain suck.
Anyways, my main goal on the new mobo is something that can push my e6750 a little higher maybe, and has working esata/usb. I also want something fairly new with all the bells and whistles so i can play around with it. My price range is 150-230 USD. The mobo's i was currently thinking about were the up and comng p45 from dfi, or the ASUS P5Q deluxe. Or i was thinking about getting the DFI x38 LT LP. I'm Also not sure about the new foxconn i hear they are amazing, but have lots of problems. I'm just looking for some answers or idea's how to approach this mobo market


Currently i have

F2-6400PHU2 G.Skill Micron D9 2x1gb DDR2
E6750


Thanks

Sorry the title the D got cut off when i hit submit :/ ?

Make a wise investment and benefit from the hands-on testing of others - sit tight for a month and use that time to review how the boards form various manufacturers are performing in the real world.

I would get a the ASUS P5Q Deluxe. It's sitting at $266 here and for comparison, the Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 is selling for $349. Save some cash and grab the P45 board. So far people have been getting some solid clocks on par with the X48.

With rather limited budget the new asus p45 (p5q dlx) looks like your best choice.

Lowest price for the P5Q Deluxe over here is now $235 which is CHEAP. Very few people are having issues with it and the one that died after 1 day was doing a run over 600FSB with LN2 ;)
