Choosing a new motherboard for my system

[jdelrio22]

Here is what I currently have:

QX6850 cooled by AC 7
4gb Corsair memory ddr 800
P5N-E SLI 650i nvidia chipset
BFG 8800GT
2 DVD drives - rw and rom

I have been getting a few blue screen errors when in 64 bit vista and I believe it may be due to this chipset since all the errors keep pointing to nvidia drivers

After looking through the mobo guide I am wracked on between 3 choices:

ASUS P5Q LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX

I guess I am looking for advice - considering that the new processors will use a new socket I feel like the Rampage may be overkill but perhaps there is something that it has that I don't know about that may make it worth it.

Any input would be greatly appreciated, I do intend to go 64-bit so if someone knows about some sort of stability issue it would be great to help eliminate one of these.

If all you need is a replacement motherboard, why not get something cheaper and yet capable, like a P35 chipset. The Gigabyte P35 DS3L is fairly cheap now too.

Well, I don't intend on switching processors again for another 2-3 years hopefully. I do intend to upgrade the graphics card this next year and I would like to make this system last as long as possible.

Nothing you buy now will support the processors out in 2-3 years time; there'll be at least two new sockets out by then.

Well I have decided to go with it and pick up the P35 to replace my 650i board. Concerning the crashes I was experiencing, will the P35 be that much better?
