    Motherboard replacement options

    Just today, I somehow managed to short my 680i out and now it doesn't want to seem to turn on regardless of what I try.....well great considering I just put in a preorder in on my new laptop...sighhh

    Anyways, I'm looking for an alternative to this mobo that matches my current hardware without raping my wallet too much....I'll also pass on SLI/Crossfire because I don't have much faith in it anymore...but I'd still like to overclock as usual...and supporting the new quadcores etc....


    Anyways my current specs are as follows:

    e6600 cpu 2.4ghz
    2gb DDR2 1066
    x2 8800gts 320mb
    evga 680i sli mobo

    Thanks for any help

    Gigabyte P35-DS3L If you arent concerned about RAID, since it doesnt support RAID. Its basically a striped down version of the DS3P, but I do not believe the DS3P has DDR2-1066 support, although you can overclock your memory past DDR2-800 speeds
