Some mobo's you may want to check out are: Gigabyte GA-7DXR ABIT KG7 (several versions) these are good OC boards and use a new chipset (760 I think) the abit board uses all softbios switches whereas the giga board uses dips and some softbios. Both use DDR( they where designed from the ground up with that in mind)and are 2nd gen AMD based DDR boards. Whatever mobo you pick, if you are looking at amd760 chipset boards, they all perform quite closely. So its more a matter of price and features. P.S. they both support raid
