Newer mobo for better ocing

[mrapoc]

My p5b deluxe according to OCZ does not like higher density ram such as the reaperx 4gb kit iv installed thus why i cannot get past the rated speeds of 1000mhz really. My p5b deluxe is kinda dying too - some of the fan headers do not work and the nb gets really hot.

I was wondering, without paying £180 odd which mobo is hot for

1. pc2 8000 reaperx ram (getting over rated speeds easily)
   
2. single card (will not be sli-ing)
   
3. a good bios/reliability
   
4. quad/next gen cpu friendly
   
5. will not be using ddr3 as this ram is the mutts nuts

A DFI LanParty LT X48-T2R?

Funny, I was looking at that board yesterday along with the AM2+ board they have. (both were in Today only at the time)

LT ? Lite ? Dunno DFI`s abbreviations.

Theres the LT and UT, same board and bios afaik, but different cooling solutions. LT = a thermalright made NB cooler, UT = TransPiper cooling 2.0 (or something like that)

Hmm it does look a nice little board and isnt the x48 supposed to be an awesome chipset?

I bought the p5b dlx as it was the board to get at the time and i thought £120 was expensive! No striker 2 for me @ £280

Is the price of this board expected for decent boards nowadays?
