i'm in the same boat, it seems that i'm leaning towards the ABIT QuadGT or maybe the P5N-E SLI cause it's cheaper!! LoL
OCing with Arabian Style
gigabyte DS3-P does high FSB stable. 510FSB+
Asus Rampage II Gene - i7 920 D0 Lapped - Lapped Noctua NH12U-F
Sapphire HD4870 X2 - 6GB Corsair Dominator GT@T1 - Windows 7 x64
2 x WD Velociraptor 150GB Raid 0 - 500GB Samsung T166
Antec ThreeHundred - Samsung A656 40"- TX650W
I've got both, I prefer the QuadGT albeit it's dearer.Originally Posted by naelq
abit IP35 Pro, E6600, HD3870, FSP FX700-GLN
abit AB9 QuadGT, E6400, 7900GTO, FSP FX600-GLN
abit AX78 x2
Asus P5N-E SLI, E6600, 8800GTS, Tagan 530W
hot_fifty, DS3-P is not for sale in USA
Depending if you want to go SLI or not
single card, go 965
Id recommend-
ASUS p5b dlx
ASUS commando
ABIT QUAD GT
QUAD GT isnt as good for super high MHz ram
CPU: Intel CORE 2 Duo E6550 @ 3.6GHz w/ 1.29vcore (517*7)
Motherboard:
Gigabyte P35-DQ6
Memory:
Crucial 8500's
Video:
Nvidia 8800GTX
PSU:
Zippy 700W (fan modded of course)
no giga-!!
thnx irev210, so you would say that the P5B-DLX would be a better choice than the P5N-E? as for the QuadGT, well it's not that i'm sooooo impressed by. especially with that price!

Abit AB9 QuadGT. Great board
Asus p5b deluxe 1.04g revision its very good too and DFI 965P infinity.
again, it depends if you plan to go SLIno giga-

if you plan to go SLI, then yes cause 965 cant
but 965 is better at overclocking
as others have said, the quadGT is a pretty great value, ~165 shipped after 30 mail in rebate

DFI infinity is still pretty new, but seems pretty sweet at the price point.
BTW, like the gigabyte DS3, there is nothing wrong with it as a value board. Really tough to beat for the price.
It really depends what you are looking for... something for everyone.

Asus P5B Deluxe is a very stable board.
DFI Infinity P965 looks good if you can find one.
Gigabyte 965P-DS3 is a great board for the money.
