Need a C2D Mobo

Lonz · 1 May 2007 at 22:57

Don't intend to overclock really. But need a good value, reliable and stable motherboard for my 6600, 2GB RAM, 8800GTS and X-Fi.

Thanks.

P.S. Out of curiousity, if I was to be tempted to get one that could overclock up to 3Ghz like a lot of people seem to be able to, what should I be looking at?

Thanks,
Alex

DS3, DS3P, DS4, P5B Deluxe, maybe the Abit Quad GT and the new DFI 965 board when its out.

They are all good performers and good value @ under £120~

if you want the looks, get the GA DQ6

DS3 or P5N-E for good overclocking, both can get to 4GHz on a 6600 with good cooling

Thats far more to do with the chip than it is the mobo

if you want a 965 board i'd seriously look at the QuadGT, i don't see any reason for a DS3/P5B anymore ...1066 strap on the QuadGT is priceless and hits almost as high FSB.
