A: After many years of building machines the only biostar mobos i ever recommend are for basic replacements....even if it has a nice new intel chipset(p43).......i swear by ASUS boards and am currently running a p5n-e sli plus...it has handled everything i've thrown it. If you want a new chipset check out one of the many ASUS p5Q boards....the only time you will notice the difference in ram speed is running benchmarks.....do the ASUS!!! Biostar is cheaper because they are....well.....cheaper.
