Hi all,
I have decided to go with the E6550 c2d ...  but need a good mobo  to go with tht.
I wil be using 2 gb DDR2 RAM, SATA HDD , XFX 7xxx series Video card..

Budget is  $150 ..... 

Is it tht. only Intel mobos are best suited for Intel CPUs ??  or  ASUS/Gigabyt/XFX also has a good performing mobo in theire slot.

I dont knw bout overclocking , so not gonna do tht in near future... This will be for Gaming purpose.

Can nyone suggest some good mobos  for this .... PLZ...


Thank you ..

No .
Asus , Gigabyte , MSI ... and other also release good motherboard for intel processor .
If u don't look for overclocking so most motherboard are similar the performance between them is very small.
Here is a good motherboard : ASUS P5K LGA 775 Intel P35 82$.
