Hi 
I want to upgrade from my P65 ds3 to a newer P35 board and could do with some suggestions based on the following please.
At the moment my finger is hovering over the buy button on the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P as I'm pretty certain the ram will be fine in there and its a fairly problem free board but if there is a better one out there which people recommend then I'm all ears.
Cheers

I want to upgrade from my P65 ds3 to a newer P35 board and could do with some suggestions based on the following please.
- Compatiable with 4 sticks of the ocz ddr2 6400 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 memory.
- No annoying dma/sata/achi/raid problems like seen on some of the p35 boards (disappearing drives etc).
- Able to take the large cpu coolers with a 120mm fan on e.g Ultra-120/Noctua etc.
- I don't overclock an awful lot but it would be nice if it could with the 4 sticks of ram. Using a E6600 at the moment. (I,ll probaly get a quad soon)
- Willing to spend roughly £90 maybe a bit more if the cost can be justified. Nothing completly overboard.
