Which is the best from these 3:

Abit IP35 Pro @ £120

Gigabyte P35-DS4 @ £94

Gigabyte X38-DQ6 @ £145

There is 2 versions of the DQ6, X38 which is ddr2 (i can get this one for £145 delivered) & the X38T which is DDR3 and im not paying over £200 again for 2gb only for it to be worth £50 in 6months.

im guessing if the X38 has dual 16x slots then theres hacked drivers for sli too :confused:

I also just found somewere saying the new 8800gt is pci-e 2.0 :confused:

well ill be buying either a 8800GT or the G92 GTS when they come out on the 3RD so doubt i would ever use crossfire or sli (at least for a while)
I've seen somewere that the 8800GT uses pci-e 2.0 and dont know if it will effect it much? main thing im interested in is stability & overclocking tbh
