hello peeps. since i will be thrasing crysis with my new toy 4 christmas full time, i wont be having any spare time 2 find out the mobo 4 my future Q6600 proc upgrade. so i need your recommendations 4 Q6600 mobo. dont tell me 2 get penryn because i cant wait anymore. hahaha! i am planning 2 get the mobo 1st after new year, then only the proc after lunar new year. i got no cash 2 buy both proc and mobo at the same time 4 now. as stated in the title, RM500 is the allocated budget. thanks and meri krismas. HO HO HO!

erm, Asus P5K ? or Abit IP35 (Dark raider) with japan solid caps. keke
even P35-DS3 can also.

1 thing to ask, you dont OC the proc to limit right ?

I would drop off from the Asus P5K. Doesn't really justify its price. If you are really looking for one that is best bang for buck, should be looking at either Gigabyte DS3 (P35 chipset) or the Biostar TD35 (P35 Chipset). Both of these mobo should be cheaper than your budget and are reliable..

nope. i wont be doing any OC at all.

ok thanks. i will check it out later.

come shoot more recommendations here.

If you're not overclocking, then the P35-DS3 is my recommendation. I'm using it without any problems and it is a good overclocker too. See my sig....

Last I heard, it was selling for around rm380....

Note : Recent news indicate that current P35 mobos (with 4 layer PCB) might have compatibility problems with Intel's Penryn (if you're planning to upgrade to penryn in the future). Look at the thread in the main hardware section.

So, you can give GA-P35-DS3 a try. since you just want to change mobo only.

dude FYI i wont be testing the mobo since i wont be buying the processor together yet most likely after lunar new year when i able 2 afford one Q6600 but i will keep in my wish list though

Like the board layout and colour scheme of DFI but 4 layers PCB and less accessory at RM600
