Need some MB shopping help E6850 + Which P35 MB?

Im looking for some suggestions for a nice MB for my E6850 to find a home in. I have to stay UNDER $200 with it. Im currently on a EVGA 680i, and love it, but I seem to be stuck at 3.75 ghz, and I just cant live with myself knowing, I can have more


This board has really got my eye:

Im just wondering if there is a better choice out there, and why its a better choice.

Needs to be DDR2, and need only 1 pcie slot( wont be doing dual video cards)


Looking forward to hearing some reviews from ppl with P35 Boards, and why you choose that board, and what you think I should go with.

Thanks in advance!

I would recommend the Abit IP35 Pro, vanilla or -E. I have had very good luck with my IP35-E.

just get a p35-ds3r , cheap board and they rock, still has the ich9r sb

Unfortunately, the IP35-E appears to be no more. That said, I'd recommend the IP35 unless you need all the upgraded features of the IP35 Pro model. The IP35 is a great overclocker.

yes ip35 or the ip35-pro.. others to look at would be gigabyte p35-s3l/p35-ds3/p35-ds3l, though i suggest abit over gigabyte...

Looks like the IP35-E is back in stock at Newegg. I'm currently considering that board for my gaming rig, as I don't really need RAID, Firewire, or Crossfire.

IP35-E is solid board, just look past the double boot issue till wnother retail bios comes out.

Abit ip35 ... look for the pro ... graet board design and very easy to overclock ...
