I think there are other p35 mobos from msi, DFI and asus. but Gigabyte has one of the best reviews especially the big P35-DQ6 (thats a large box and a large mobo) i agree with fleeb, even the midrange vcards; ati 2600 and nvidia 8600 vidcard didn’t fair well.

That would be none other than Gigabyte. In my case, I still have that patience. I'll wait until first thing next year. I'll see what the future holds for Phenom X4, Yorkdale, nVidia 98xx, ATI 2900XTX... oh and that CAS7 1600MHz DDR3 RAM! Arrgh! DDR2 muna for the meantime. BTW, DirectX 10 disappoints at this point in time. Better stick to DX9 Gen as there is not much performance difference between the two. P35 Motherboard? That would be none other than Gigabyte.

Pag hindi kaya nung isa, damay silang lahat. May sense ba ako? Hehehe. I think it would be hard to overclock a quadcore since you’d need all four cores to tolerate the increases in stress.

The question im asking myself now is that: is it worth going to quad core right here and now? Don’t get me wrong, slashing prices almost always is in the best interest of the consumers but if you’re someone who has been thinking of buying a new rig, is it worth jumping on the quad core bandwagon ?

You're using this for gaming, right? I don't think current games know how to use a 4xcore. Me, I just need to build a low end PC... so I want the Athlon X2 BE-2350 with only 45W power/heat. But, no sign of it coming to the Philippines! So I'll have to stick to X2 3600+. AMD rules the low end because there's the GF61xx chipset with decent integrated analog VGA for PC's that don't need discrete video.
