was going to buy a ABIT IP35 PRO, but what other solid P35 Boards are out there around the $150 - $200 price range????

STATS ARE IN MY SIG ON UPCOMING SYSTEM
 
the most stable, best priced board is the Abit IP35-E. The IP35 pro is a great board too.

I have seen nothing but good reviews for the Gigabyte DS4
 
I have the GA-P35-DS3R and the GA-P35-DS3L boards and they seem to be pretty good, if you get one that isn't defective. The reason I say that is that the first DS3R I got was wonky on the SATA I/O ports, giving me all kind of errors. The replacement is running great with an E6300 in it at 460 fsb. I just put the DS3L into service about 1 1/2 weeks or so ago with an E4400 and so far it's run great, but I haven't really tried upping the fsb speed very high yet. I didn't get around to doing a 266 pad mod on the E4400 so I haven't pushed the fsb much on it (around 350 fsb IIRC).
 
Abit IP35-E for sure, the Pro version comes with raid and other extra fancy features, the caps are also better on the Pro I believe
 
Solid depends on what you plan on doing with it:beer:
Most boards will give you good performance and long life at stock
speeds. The better boards (Abit, Gigabyte and Asus$100+) boards
will give you better overclocking. Usually, Gigabyte gets the highest
speeds, followed closely by Asus then Abit.:santa:
 
The ones i recommend are asus p5k-e, abit ip35 pro and the gigabyte p35-ds4 since the owners of these always seems to be satisfied! The gigabyte seems to get highest stable overclocking-results thou
 
I have to say that my gigabyte (see sig) board is rock solid. eASIEST system i have probably put together and best part was that overclocking was simple and stable.
 
I like my P5K Premium. Don't have a whole lot of experience with other P35 boards though. Probably is out of that price range though. Maybe a P5K Vanilla?
