Intel Bonetrail X38 m/b

Do you guys think this is any good? Going to run it with an ATI and not the Nvidia graphics card.
Thanks guys, was originally looking at the 780i board but was advised to go this route due to ATI support on the intel board.
Also it has DDR3 not 2
Thanks

dont buy intel mobo's even if you dont overclock

Really? So would you still go the 780i even though it is a ATI card and also that it is DDR2?

I'm not sure if the DDR3 price difference is justified yet, though...

Cany anyone recommend a decent board for this card also to run a quad core?
Thanks

At a good price you can get the P5K(intel P35 chipset)

But you might want the P5E(intel x38)
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=572&l4=0&model=1873&modelmenu=1
It has pci-e 2.0 and good sound.

I'm deciding which one I should get for my Quad.

I recommend Asus boards since you can restore the bios via a USB stick and Asus has good bios/driver support.

Good board, no crossfire like the asus p5k which costs the same though.

I might consider that board but I like the asus more...
