I always advocate Intel retail desktop boards because of their
unsurpassed
stability and reliability, along with memory models that Intel certify
themselves and publish as compatible for the particular desktop board.
But alas, their sole P35 board released so far does not have DDR3

Same was said of first generation DDR2 vs DDR. DDR3 while lame in
performance vs hype and expectations, is still the future.
Certainly--but the simple fact of the matter is that DDR3 must reach higher
clockspeeds and drop in price to really justify moving from now-cheap

Yeah I'd rather run one video card. Esp, where one card can ruin two
in SLI.
So looks like so far we have:
P35 Express chipset board
E6850 (3.0GHz) dual-core
DDR3 Memory
8800 GTX or Ultra nVidia card
Anyone make a call on what brand I would pursue for P35 chipset?
