ok dg31 is ur call but i found another cheap mob its D975XBX2 is it better to go with this mobo or still u prefer dg31 personally i think the D975 is more advance mobo of intel xtreme series perhaps its too old school now but offers raid support and ati crossfire support it even supports the 45nm wolfdale cpus with bios update (correct me if im wrong coz i wanna run intel dc e5200 2.5 ghz on it) so technically you know better than me that's why i need your suggestion
