hi guys

i have a thread in the general section but my new build's gone **** up most likely thanks to my b grade purchase of an msi p35 diamond mobo. I have the ddr3 etc. but i'm pretty sure the mobo's had it. What's the cheapest board with DDR3 please?

thanks

Gigabyte EP35C DS3R and ASUS P5KC Combo can both take 2 sticks of DDR3.

I think your best bet is the Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3 Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard at £66.96, or the Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard at £74.01. Stay clear of the Asus combo boards as i have seen loads of those failing. Just check the Asus forum.

***Edit*** Ignore my choices. OCUK really need to sort out their descriptions.

They're both DDR2 boards. Serious typo's on both.
