Dear All,
Kindly suggest me a motherboard under 7 K. Also whether i should opt for a DDR3 supporting mobo or not?
I'm thinking of going for MSI P7N SLI-FI. It is available for 6.5k (DDR2)
Abit's Abit IP35-E is also a consideration for me....
what you say guys??

I think this should be in Q and A section.
That might get you some answers.

Hey, go for BioStar i45 if you can get it. Best mobo in your price range. If not, settle for MSIP7N Digital. DDR3 support is a waste. BTW, is your CPU Intel or AMD. If its Intel, the mentioned mobos will work. If its AMD, get a Jetway 780G.

DDR3 is the future. DDR2 will eventually become obsolete. Make sure you buy one that supports DDR3.

Yeah, putting freakin DDR3 on a FREAKIN old PC(comparitively) is NO USE

DDR3 isn't the need or choice for another 2 years unless u r gonna go for NEHALEM OR DENEB by nxt year Q2
