Which Mobo For Intel E6600 Core 2 Duo

[tuco]

I'd go for the ASUS P5K, it is slightly more than 70, but only by a few. It would be a lower budget solution, but it would support more upcoming CPUs. Personally, I would wait until Fall to upgrade, as the C2D lineup will have likely dropped in price by then. My plan is to get a higher priced board, like the P5K Deluxe, and a C2D E6600 or E6700 when they are cheaper.

Yes it will, making sure you've got the socket 775 mounting hardware.

The review i looked up was a 775 cooler only. Yes it will work, and its a pretty ncie HS too.

A Gigabyte P35C-DS3R would be a good option for a P35 board, seems to be a solid clocker and comes in at ~£85, a little over budget, but i`ve only heard good things about this board.
