save yourself the heartache.... go with a GIGABYTE EP45T extreme

or the REX.... i had a Tpower.... the bios sucks.... the EP45T has the FSB WR though

Yeah this guys knows! The Giga EP45-UD3P or the EP45T-UD3P (DDR3) are sweet boards as well.

I'm looking at the ddr2 giga board now. I'm going for something to handle pretty much all s775 crapola. Does the ep45t handle p4's and cellies? If so I'll probably grab that instead..... The prices on them are really nice!

be careful..... ddr2 will have FSB limits... thats where ddr3 helps because it has the higher multi so you can crank the memory down and still run the fsb wayyyyy up...

whereas unless you have some really good ddr2 your gonna be limited to around 550 to maybe 600 or so FSB
