Hey fellas, i was wondering if anybody that had an experience with the P45 chipset suggest a new motherboard for me. I currently have a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L with a C2Q Q6600 and Kingston KHX8500AD2K2/4GR. And i plan to just have one video card, so i'll maybe buy the next best board from the cheapest offering from either Asus or Gigabyte. I somewhat heard certain things that was very wrong with the Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L, and GA-EP45-UD3L. So if anybody has any input, i'd appreciate it. And also can anybody tell me more about the difference with the PCI-E 2.0. I don't mean about the technical part, but what ones experienced. If i were to have a motherboard that supports PCI-e 2.0 along with my graphic card which is 2.0, would i be able to tell any difference? And what would i experience. I guess the technical part can be included when informing or suggesting. I plan to just let it run stock, or maybe overclock the cpu a little but overall it's gonna run at stock speeds. Again, thanks for the input.
