Ok guys I am contemplating getting one of these cpu's as they are around £200 here in Canada. I would like to use it with my existing ram which is 2 sticks of OCZ 4001024ELPE. I would really like to know which mobo to buy to get the best out of this cpu?

DFI Ultra D nf4 or sli versions
EPoX EP-9NPA+ Ultra
Wait for a couple of replies from users of these boards or others to be recommended as I have no personal experience. Have heard many times that theses are the better ones.
Asus A8n may be another to consider.

Google for the boards and see what the reviews say.
Excellent advice advice so far. 
I've had both of those boards and they both great. I swopped out the epox one for the DFI though as the epox was unable to run the memory in 1T.
The Epox reached 320 HTT & the DFI reaches 370.
The DFI is the one to go for, any of them will be fine.
