I'm upgrading my computer so I've come down to these two motherboards which one is better to get? I don't know if I should save up and get the DDR3 motherboard.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128048

Which motherboard fits best?
I'd definitely go for the P35 board myself. if you want to save a bit of money, you could get the board that doesn't use DDR3 slots, the regular GA-P35-DS3R. I doubt they're going to be all that useful any time soon. Then again, it's only $10 I believe.Which motherboard fits best?
Which one is better quality of the 3 boards?
Personally, I'd trust Gigabyte over XFX for motherboards. XFX is relatively new to the motherboard game, wheras Gigabyte is a fairly old and trusted manufacturer. The P35 chipset is also a lot more future-proof than the nForce 6 (at least the current builds - they might do a 690 revision), and would be my choice for building at this point.
Ok thanks. I'll go with the Gigabyte DDR3 motherboard. Once again thanks.

go with the 650i because its cheaper and according to nvida all 650 and 680 mobos with 1333mhz fsb will be able to support penryn cpus and on one of the gigabytes reviews some guy said that in the manual it says that it will only support ddr2 ram up 800mhz so im sure if it being able to run dd3 is true or not

DDR3 RAM support is clearly labeled on certain boards. The one he picked out has two DDR3 slots. The P35 chipset also supports PCI-e 2.0 - it might not be important right now, but it is nice to have.
