why would u suggest against the DG31 mobo? i have it and it seems really good for its price.
has SATA 2, pcie x16, supports quad core. been 100% stable so far.
also really good for mac osx86

q6600
DG31PR
8600GT.
no probs at all so far.
IMO its GREAT board for the price. it supports upto 4gb of ram, but i dont need more than 2.
