Do you need onboard graphics? What / How many of what type of ports do you need? IDE / SATA / eSATA ports? How many? USB / Firewire Basically what is a perfect board for one person, may not be a good board at all for another. |

Re: Best Motherboard for under $150
No onboard graphics as I will be running an 8800 GTS (G92), at least 8 USB, one SATA hard drive and Im assuming my burner via SATA and thats about it...
I was looking at the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L that you just pointed out and the Asus P5K-E.. both look like they support ddr2-1066 and 45nm chips i believe for upgrading down the road... but i hear that asus has issues with corsair memory... and that is what i wanted to run was corsair... should i run with OCZ instead?

Re: Best Motherboard for under $150
I would go with the Asus P5K-E (not the WiFi version) as my first choice for that price range.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131225 Check Asus's QVL (qualified vendor list) or go on Corsair's web site and see if either Asus has tested corsair memory in that board or vice versa. If they have you should be all set.
