Top Notch Motherboard?
Appreciate some quick help on a motherboard choice as i start to plan a system.
Looking for a DualCore 6600 compatible motherboard with as many bells and whistles as possible. Not to be used for overclocking but to give as much fun in expansion (drives/cards/memory) both when building and later. The Asus P5B gets a strong recomdation here and on NewEgg. Anything that is recently released that may be better? One thing that i am looking for is good power (and noise) management. The options on the P5 for being able to run SKYPE when the computer is asleep looks promising. Thanks |

P5B Deluxe: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131028
Intel "Bad Axe" Rev. 2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813121059 Asus P5W DH: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131025 The first two are my top recommendations, the P5W DH is okay, but I've heard some mixed reviews about it. The Intel board is of amazing quality, and is now overclockable. The P5B Deluxe is a high quality board using the new Intel chipset and has some of the highest overclocks.
