EVGA to Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4

[ChrisD.]

I'm thinking of making this move. Nothing is particularly wrong with my EVGA apart form the shoddy on board RAID controller.

How is the RAID controller on this board? Will it support Penyn CPU's? Also, what's it like at overclocking combined with my four 1GB sticks?

The RAID controller is fine (uses Intels latest and greatest ICH9R southbridge).

It will support Penryns (P35 was designed with Penryn in mind, just as P965 was developed with Conroe in mind).

And it's grand for overclocking with 4 sticks.

Cheers mate. Looks like a good move then considering I won't be going SLI (my original plan).
