Hi

I currently have an ASUS P5K Premium/WiFi-AP Black Pearl Special Edition and want to upgrade it.

I have a Q6600 clocked @ 3.2 8GB of DD2 Ram and 4870X2.

I want to get away from the P35 chipset and pref not another ASUS bored.

Any ideas on which one would be good?

Have a budget of aprox 150.

Cheers

Take a look at yoyotech they do bundles so you might get a good board and spare you cpu that you can keep or sell

I have a gigabyte P45 DS5 and it has been the best mobo i have ever had. Always used to swear by asus but quite a few bad experiences steered me away from them. That board your looking at is only one step below mine and if it is half as good you will be happy. Looked at the DFI's but at the time i was buying they had a bios problem which should be all sorted now.
