Need help choosing a mobo

[armax1980]

I need a little help choosing a mobo to use with the E8400 chip. I've narrowed it down to the ASUS P5E and the Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS4 boards. Which is more reliable and better value? I don't plan on doing any overclocking.

the Gigabyte will be better value because it uses DDR2 which is far cheaper than the DDR3 that the P5E3 uses.

Sorry, I meant the ASUS P5E that uses DDR2.
