i have decided to go with the e4300 c2d processor (as the 4400 is not availble yet.. is it?)

I need a good motherboard.. (wont be overclocking as it voids warranty) my budget is around 6 - 8k max.. unable to decide between these few boards

1) Asus p5b (which one should i go for? vm, e, deluxe)
2) Intel Original

Or do u suggest something else? please help

thanks in advance

u can go in for p5bvm as the others are >10k and for clocking. Personally i feel asus is the best at this range and rate!

u see ask any one, when u r tight on Budget, best buy then will be AMD :D

u wont feel the Diffrence with a X2 4200 or may be X2 4400 with E4300 with same amount of RAM !!! and with AMD boards u get Good Onbaord GRFX too :)

Now that Budget of 12k for what ?? Procy and Mobo or for Total CPU ??
