Yet another which MB??

[Dufrane]

Which one would you buy?? It is for E6400. Already have corsair xms2 2x1gb 675 (pc2 5400) RAM. Would like to purchase within the next week. Are the bios on these boards good to go?? It seems like there are differing opinions.

I do NOT plan on overclocking.

Out of those 3 choices... Gigabyte Ds3 without question.

Reasons why?? Is it worth going to the next level??? I mean the 230-250 MB???

 

[cmdrdredd]

Ds3 overclocks better than all the rest. Plus it has a better BIOS than the other boards. Now if you went with a P5b Deluxe that's different and I'd recommend it over the DS3 because I've seen alot less problems with stability.

Is the P5b Deluxe worth the extra 90 dollars?? If it is I might go with it.

 

[cmdrdredd]

I think it is, but again it's still hit or miss. You do get a few extra features like wiFi, a heatpipe cooling system and little added things. I find it more stable out of the box than the DS3 but both will work fine after a simple BIOS update.
