Sitting on a P35-DS3 and wanting to upgrade.
In the near future, upgrades will also include
E8400 (Around time Nehalem is released)
ATI 4850 (SOON), doubt i will ever run CrossFire though
and get rid of the two IDE drives in my system.
The P35 has only 6 SATA Points, and the new board will need more, 8 preferable.
these are the boards i'm looking at.
DFI LPLT-X48-T2R
Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6
i know there are some ASUS that do 8 SATA Ports. I've had a few bad ASUS boards
there are a few other boards (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...280 1070509908 1296819456&bop=And&Order=PRICE) but i am limited in what i can get sometimes in Australia
similar in price range, which would you recommend?
