Well I don't have the cash to spring for an E8400, otherwise I would.
CPU will be an E5200 (hoping to get an o/c close to 4.0)
MB choice (I think) has been narrowed down to:
Biostar TP43D2-A7 ATX LGA775 P43 DDR2 1PCI-EX 3PCI SATA2 HD Sound GBLAN CrossFireX Motherboard - DirectCanada ASUS P5QL Pro ATX LGA775 P43 DDR2 1PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 3PCI SATA2 Sound GBLAN Motherboard - DirectCanada Gigabyte EP43-DS3L ATX LGA775 P43 FSB 1600 OC 1PCI-E 2PCI DDR2 SATA2 HD Sound GBLAN Motherboard - DirectCanada
If I could find a gigabyte GA-EP35 DS3L that would probably be my first choice but they seem to be out of stock everywhere.
As mentioned in my first post, crossfire isn't needed, and while RAID support would be nice it's not a deal breaker for me.
So...which should I choose?
