Best motherboard?

So what is the best motherboard out there for the SG03 / SG04? Been totally out of the overclocking loop. Looking at peoples systems there is a range of different ones in use! Looking at the P45 chipset.

Cheers for any help

It will be my main computer. I will be putting my X1800XT in there until the bank manager gives me more money

I'm now torn between P45 and X58, as the difference seems to be £150 (~£100 for the mobo, ~£50 for CPU). Not looked into memory though :S

So er yeah, will be my main rig! Cheers

Cheers! Think I am steering away from i7 as its a bit more £££ than I want to spend. Was really leaning towards the DFI, but saw a few pictures of the Asus Maximus II Gene which looks sweet - but no real info on it. What to dooooooo what to doooooooo!

Not sure if you are drifting off the point, or whether you have read the Maximus 2 Gene as Rampage 2 Gene, but the former is LGA776

So will either be Asus P45 or DFI P45, but can't seem to see any mention of the Asus board anywhere (all reviews are for the X58 board), so don't know what to do!
