Useful opinions please

I am going to build a new pc soon and i cannot make up my mind between AMD
or Intel CPU's.
either way i will be using the Quad Core processor.

Can these mainboards be reasonably compared overall.

GA-MA790FX-DQ6 for AMD
Or.....
GA-P35-DS3 for Intel.

Hi there!

I cant speak for those boards but I did get a Gigabyte X38-DS5 for my
son's game machine (which locks you into Intel and Crossfire) but I
haven't heard any complaints from him. AMD would further bind you to
ATI graphics to some degree also.

Apart for the current limited support for using both his graphics cards
at this point in time the machine fairly hums :-)
