My Motherboard...

needs to be replaced. I guess I have one of those Gigabyte(p67) boards that was recalled because of the Sata issue.

I never experienced problems since I only used 1 of the faulting ports for my optical drive. Since I'm wanting to add another SSD I might as well replace the MB.

Which motherboard would you recommend p67 or z68? I want to boost my gaming performance as well, I'll be adding another video card and better memory.

Anyone have luck with these MB

EVGA Z68 FTW 160-SB-E689-KR LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SAT...

Maybe this because of the onboard x-fi

ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI S...

And for the money your talking on spending maybe one of the more expensive ASRock mobo's and no this has nothing at all to do with my name lol.
