Thanks guys, looking at the abit is it this one?

Another vote for the P5B Deluxe wifi. Great all rounder, rock solid.
You owe it to yourself to click here really.
DFI Infinity 975X is £96 inc. VAT on OcUK this week.
with the latest BIOS it's supposedly good for ~440fsb.
Alternatively Scan have the abit AW9D & AW9D-MAX on special for ~£120 & £131 respectively.
975s don't run as high an fsb as 965s but over 400fsb they tend to be quicker clock for clock as 965 switches to looser memory timings.
i would recommend waiting a coupla weeks till the 680i mobos drop or try and find a 650i mobo as that is also very good. If not get a P5B-Deluxe
P5B-DLX - No contest
P5B-Delux FTW
The 680i mobos have some issues. NVidia reckon that it's a BIOS thang, but I'd rather wait for rev2s myself.
Not sure i can wait for them to drop - do you think its worth waiting for quad core ready?
I have been hanging on for 680i.... but considering going for Asus P5B Deluxe now.......
Although there is now a 680i available at 'reasonable' money (£187 Incl VAT) http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=510710
Edit... Problem is I need a Serial COM port for my GPS... Which is available on the 680i, but not I think on P5B... How best to achieve?

Try to make each and every day the best it can be.
id personally get the 680i but if you want to go P5B then do so and get a PCI card for teh right port you need
Asus Commandowill fit the bill Not sure yet on release date but iit looks a good solid board based on a proven chipset. More info VR-Zone. May be my fallback if LANParty UT ICFX3200-T2R-G or Abit IN9 32X-MAX don't appear as scheduled or fail to impress at last minute.
luck
buy a Gigabyte - my DS4 has 1 (I needed COM port for programming a scanner).
I'm buying a 975 chipset board for my E6600 though.
