Decent Board

GIGABYTE GA-EP35C-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Dynamic Energy Saver Ultra Durable II Intel Motherboard

Pros: Support both DDR2 and DDR3 Memory. Supports a hibernate mode that works well with Vista. All drivers seem to work flawlessly with Vista as well. Plenty of SATA ports.

Cons: The Board is VERY memory picky. According to Gigabyte technical support, they support crucial Ballistix Memory. I purchased this memory with the board and had problems immediatley. Blue Screens, Software crashes. You name it. After running memory tests and reading other forums. The Crucial Memory and this board do not like one another. I exchanged the Crucial Memory for some OCZ memory and now everything is running just fine. I would have been much happier if the board had more than one IDE port.

Overall Review: Board is somewhat small.
