I don't know... I've not been up on prices much recently but it seems a bit high, considering it's not even SLI. But as long as you have a decent hardware in it, the motherboard will be fine. Of course the mobo wouldn't max out an 8800 with a Celeron installed

Reading thru the reviews different people gave it looks like the board may have some BIOS issues and which may require you to flash the BIOS. If you don't know how to flash a BIOS you may want to pick another motherboard.

What are the exact specifications of your video card?

Edit: By the way "MB" is an abbreviation that stands for megabyte. You may not want to use MB when you're talking about a motherboard.

I have heard very good things about the GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L motherboard. At NewEgg.com they are currently out of stock with these motherboards, but it might be worth waiting for one or buying one from somewhere else.

Here's a link so you can look at the motherboard specifications:

I know the GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L motherboard would support your video card. The Front Side Bus is 1066 megahertz so I doubt you would see any bottlenecks with the motherboard. What processor and random access memory are you going to be using with the motherboard?
