1st hand: Gigabyte 965P-DS3, Q6600 (Intel), 8 GB of RAM. *FAST*. However 
.... I am using it (under FC7) in runlevel 3 (as a poor-man's server), 
so can't comment on gfx performance, etc. We also have a Gigabyte 
P35-DS3 at work, runlevel 5 w/ FC7, 8 GB RAM, but a mundane gfx card 
(nVidia, PCIE-16X, 32 MB RAM, 6600 (I think)), works AOK, *FAST* CPU. I 
like AMD fine & dandy, but right now Intel has 'em for raw 
speed/performance ....
