Anything below them will make you regret it. Just google and see about Motherboard brands and you will find Asus,Gigabyte,EVGA to be the leading in the reliability/quality wise. Intel is considered to be quite unreliable by s most pc enthusiast but other ppl think that since the brand name is intel ,the boards will be good as their processors. This is wrong because intel doesn't actually have a MB manufacturing plant. They make their boards through Foxconn and brand it intel. So if you can afford it avoid MB brands like intel,foxconn,asrock and try to go for a Asus ,gigabyte or MSI.Another thing, getting a DDR3 option for a older socket (LGA775) is useless. Cos you won't see a significant performance increase by getting a DDR3 over DDR2 on that config. Getting DDR3 would be of value when dealing with the corei series only.</blockquote>
