Hello all,

Ive got two ICFX3200 boards on RMA and have beed asked to pick two different DFI boards as the ICFX is out of stock.

So what should i get

need to be DDR2.

Well, if you can have any DDR2 DFI board, then get the 'best'.

It depends on what CPU you intend to run in it. If it's a quad core, then WJA96's reccommendation would be mine as well. If it's a dualcore then i would reccommend the LP UT P35-T2R. Also it depends if you are going to run crossfire or not, the LP UTX48-T2R if you are, and the LP UT P35-T2R if you are not.

If you are looking at buying that you may as well save yourself a few quid and get the LT version, it is exactly the same board minus a heatsink.

Thanks guys.

Just got off the phone and my choices are limited to,

DFI Lan Party DK P35-T2RS Intel P35.

DFI Lan Party DK P45-T2R Intel P45
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-050-DF

DFI Lan Party DK X38-T2R Intel X38
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-043-DF

Im thinking the P45 or X38 would be best but should any be avoided?.

The will both have G0 quad's that can do 3.6-3.7 Ghz and be manily used for folding.
