Need a new motherboard. Need suggestions

[kater1]

My boy is wanting a new computer. The last one I built used a P4P800-E Deluxe board which I think works good enough, but he is into gaming.

What he wants is:

Raid on board
Intel Duo core
No onboard video
ATX form factor

He is looking at a GA-P35-DS3L but it has no onboard Raid.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Bill

GA-P35-DS3R try that one

yea that is a sweet board... also check out of the abit IP35-E

not the IP35-E (no RAID) but the standard IP35 http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en...AME=IP35&fMTYPE=LGA775

After purchasing gigabytes 680i board and the atrocious support / dirty deal Gigabyte is trying to hand us, for further clarification/amplification click here, I would recommend to steer clear of any and all Gigabyte products.

I would check out other manufacturers offerings and find the specs your are looking for such as ASUS P5K PRO LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard or the abit IP35 Pro... the IP35-E that was mentioned in the above post does not do RAID.

Thanks again.

what other "big" differences are there between the ip35-e and pro? I have both (traded my pro though), and the only differences I see are the heatsinks and some extra slots/connections. Any huge overclocking difference?
