Going to building a new rig around a 6600 processor. Nothing else is set yet. I'll be doing minimal gaming and some overclocking but not too extreme. Reliability is going to be key for me. I need decent RAID support, will use a a modest video card, and decent ram.

It looks like either a P5B-D or an Intel Bad Axe will meet my needs. Any reason not to get the Bad Axe? The P5B seems like a great board, but I'm leaning away from it partially because I still feel burned by Asus on my old P4P800.

I just ordered the P5B DELUXE to replace my out going EVGA 680i that is going back to NewEgg,from all I read on this subject,it seemed this was the board to have..
