advice for new mb

[richardscott]

hi i flashed the bios on my asus commando and stuffed it up so should i try to rma it or try to sell it
as a bad flash, im thinking of buying a Asus P5E X38 with a e8400 will these be compatible or will i have to
flash the bios again. also is the mb any good. ps i got a asus commando and a q6600 up for sale if anyone
wans them what would they be worth i got both boxes and all the cables etc that go with them.

The P5E is a nice board, I don't think you can lose with it, any any excuse to get one is a good excuse. ...but you may want to consider these as well:

i prefer asus for the OCing but there bios flashing sucks . i was looking at the
gigabyte x38 model but looks cramped for my water cooling. im staying away from the x48 because it has no improvements over x38.
