Best Motherboard for C2D E6400???

[Retrospective]

Im planning to...

- OC my E6400
- Add a RAID 5 Setup (buy a controller)

Theses ones are the most mentioned around here. Which one should I get? If you have any other recommendation please post it.

ASUS P5W DH DELUXE
ASUS 5B DELUXE
Gigabyte GA-965P DS3


Thanks!

i am going to say...

Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 seems to edge out by the nose.

if sli or crossfire is wanted..the picture changes

Some of the mobos have given people problem setting up RAID so look into that closely. I think all the manufacturers have it worked out now in the newer BIOSes.

The gigabyte is much cheaper than the Asus and is within spitting distance in every other way. Bang per buck it's no contest.

Wouldnt the DS3 compare to the P5B non deluxe? Both are $150 on newegg.

What's the safe bet or rule of thumb regarding RAM compatibilities?
