Best DDR2 Mobo

[Badie05]

I would love a list of the top 6 DDR2 motherboards since I am getting DDR2 Ram. I would love a native support of 1333 or 1066. So from 1-6 DDR2 with lots of overclocking head. I just hope the top ones have built in Wifi :/

Then being in the whole spirit of it all, how bout you suggest a few?

[Badie05]

I guess the Asus Maximus Extreme Would be first. It is pricey though.

[gwai lo]

Yes, probably the Maximus Extreme or the IX38 QuadGT.

[rajputwarrior]

go gigabyte... they make amazing boards, like the dq6

[Premgenius]

Asus P5B-Deluxe or one of the P35 chipset Asus motherboards

[gwai lo]

He asked for the best, not the smartest. :p

But Maximus Extreme = ddr3?

Maximus Formula is ddr2 which I got and love it.

Top DDR2 list.

ASUS Rampage Formula

GIGABYTE GA-X48-DQ6

ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA

GIGABYTE GA-X38-DQ6

ASUS P5E

ASUS P5K PREMIUM/WIFI-AP

I have a P5E, great board imo.

Probably Maximus Formula, those are nice boards so far. Rampage Formula (X48) are arriving soon. Being that, the coolest around is still the P5E3-Deluxe/WiFi-AP@n :p That's DDR3 though.

Those are DDR3 motherboards.

[gwai lo]

Yeah I realized that later, whatever the one with the Maximus designation that's DDR2.

[Badie05]

I will look into the GA-X48-DQ6. I stated this topic because I needed a motherboard for a system build and had no idea the Asus P5K3 Deluxe was DDR3 only and I though DDR3 mobos where hybrids (even thought there are some) but I was incorrect. So now I search for the top ocing DDR2 mobos.

[APH-Alex]

Well you could wait for the ASUS Rampage Formula that's coming out soon, if not, then the Maximus Formula is definitely a good choice.

Check out the Foxconn X38a

it offers DDR2 AND DDR3 support if you must stick with DDR2

[thevjm]

Basing your motherboard off of RAM is not that good of an idea.

[gwai lo]

Well, in this case it works.

DDR3 == too expensive for the amount of performance it gives

DDR1 == old and outdated

DDR2 == best price/performance
