I am having horrible issues with my Intel mobo... its not quite the same as yours but brother I would stick with Gigabyte or Asus. No one beats Asus for mobo's. I tried to skimp on mine and I am pying the price. The price will be eating the $100 I spent on it and buying an Asus since the vendor (mwave) wont accept returns on Intel products. NICE. >=(
 
what one do you have and what are the problems?

also on the site it sais its an micro BTX board.

will it fit in a standard tower case?

thanks
 
I have the DP965LT. See my post a bit down the first page for my issues with it. I'm not saying that all intel boards are bad but from my reading over the last 24 hours I find a lot of people who feel that Intel may indeed make the best chipsets, they are awful at motherboards. I'll be getting an Asus to replace mine.
 
can anyone verify this?

is it possible to align up the screw holes of the motherboard to a standard tower case?

thanks
 
it has onboard video which is fine for me, what about the motherboard, will it fit?

also is the ram ok? its a matched pair, is there any difference between standard ram sticks and matched pairs?

thanks
