Howdy,
I'm in the process of building a new (non-gamer) system, and have come accross this slight dilemma concerning a decent/quality P35 mobo.
Currently I'm looking at three boards;
Abit IP35 Pro
MSI P35 Platinum and
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
(since the Asus P5K -series are a touch flaky or so I've heard)
The build has:
-C2D E6750
-4Gb PC2-6400 (Kingston Value RAM) (cheap)
-1 250Gb WD IDE HDD
-2 320Gb Seagate S-ATA HDD's (no RAID)
-Radeon HD2600XT 256Mb GDDR3
and will run XP pro (no-no for Vi$ta at this point)
I've done my research but any comments about the boards "under evaluation" would be very much appreciated.
T
PS all parts, except the CPU and RAM are in my current build
