Sorry to jump in to the thread with my own question but is the Asus P5Q PRO P45 an ok board, i was told to get a P45 not a P35 but my budget is really stretched, this is only £81, one of the cheaper ones available..
My main problem is the OCZ vendetta 2 blocks off ram slots 1 and 2 on 3 different mobos according to a reviewer( he used pricey ones)..so lol no dual channel no matter what i guess...
