Overclocking
Gigabyte might disagree with some competitors, but it owned them all in our FSB stability test.
DFI has put great effort into making its Lanparty series the best overclockers in the business, and the X48-T2R kept our E6850 stable at the highest clock speed. The lower-cost ECS X48T-A surprisingly comes out on top of the super-priced P5E3 Premium, in spite of the X48T-A’s lack of FSB and chipset voltage settings.
Asus continues its lead in memory stability, and the new motherboard revision is even better here than the last one was.

Where is the Cost/Performance ratio.
I think ASrock have done well to put forward a competitive offering and I reckon they will be notably cheaper. I think they bring the enthusiam to the masses.
I personally would go for the Gigabyte or DFI board, because their builds are quality and could conceivably last for years.
