That I know should I get a Abit IX38 Quad, Ga-X48T-DQ6 or DFI DK X48-T2RS???

The three you mentioned al have Award BIOS. I would get an ASUS with AMI. My preference. Gigadud or ABIT , unless you are prepared to deal with all the 'hidden' BIOS adjustments of a DFI. I have owned them all, ASUS is my preference.

I order a Ga-X48T-DQ6. The Asus will not work for me.
