If this is only to get you by for a month or two and if you don't need 2 PCI-E slots, then you might take a look at the Abit IP35 and save some bucks.

Nothing wrong with the P5K Premium. It's a good overclocker. I was just trying to save you some bucks. To answer your question, there are 3 motherboards in the IP35 series: the IP35-E, IP35, and IP35 Pro. The IP35 (plain) was the one I suggested and it is about $90 cheaper than the one you got. The E version is the lower end model with no RAID and the Pro is the high end version with all the bells and whistles.

i ended up getting the asus .. i might end up keeping it until ddr3 prices drop to a reasonable rate then ill switch to x38 and ddr3 ..
also does anyone know how the onboard sound is on the asus board ?? i was thinking of dumping off my creative x-fi fatality card

Not me, worst bios ever. Actual not, bed just not functional. Somewhat large vdroop. Overclocking with quad was a nightmare on ip35 pro. I think in 3 days I cleared cmos more times than I cleared cmos on all boards combine in 2 years.
