I have a Abit IP35-E board which I am not happy about (and prolly will sell of). Was looking at Asus boards; and came across Asus P5Q Pro.
Is this board good ? My machine's config is in my siggy.
if you are not glued to ASUS.... guess Gigabyte DQ6 / Gigabyte DS3 have a bit edge over ASUS Please see the following links then make ur decision .....
Also see if you can get your hands on a MSI P45 Neo2-FR, It's a toned down version of MSI P45 Platinum.
It's a very solid board. easily does 550 FSB and has lots of nice features including 8 front facing sata ports, CF, dual heatpipe, etc and is relatively cheap aswell compared to Gigabyte/Asus.
Make sure its P45 Neo2, and not Neo or Neo3 which are crap. Neo2-FR retails for around 7k I think.
Oh come on you guys.. don't confuse me appo man !!!!
Anyway I read both the mobo reviews. Both mobo's are good. But as I said in my earlier post I'm done with VFM boards; so I will go with Amey's suggestion...
