DDR3 Compatible Motherboard For E8400

[Ritwik7]

Hi guys! I'm building a rig for a friend and I'm looking for a motherboard for the Intel E8400 CPU with DDR3 support.

I was looking at : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131344

Any suggestions? Budget about $140.

Thanks.

I can safely assume that the DFI won't be available here.

Don't mess with Ritwik7, I hate to think what would happen to your sorry a** if he activates the wrath of Ritwiks 1 through 6 on you.

I guess a P45 board would be a let down; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128364
Do they even have DDR3 in Calcutta?

I posted a thread asking if DDR2 1066 would be an improvement over DDR2 800, and they told me I probably wouldn't notice the difference. The DDR2 1066 GSkill was way shinier than the Kingston Value RAM 800, so I went with it anyway.

LOL! How do you do Captain.
Don't you believe him Red!!! It's the Captain's ire that is to be feared on Techspot!

Yeah, they do have DDR3 in Calcutta. I'm using it currently!

Thanks a lot guys. My friend so far seems to have decided on the AMD X3 720. So till he reverts back to Intel I guess I won't have to hunt for the board.
