In the GO section theres an offer for the biostar motherboard at 5.5k(and its in mumbai itself). Otherwise u might get it in lamington. At that price theres nothing to beat it. If its not available, then the XFX 650i at 5.1k is a very good mobo as well. I think the DS3R is like 9k or so, totally unneccesary if you can get the other two

The slight downpoint with the Biostar is the IC9H southbridge - doesnt have RAID support. Perhaps not as important, but with most SATA controllers coming with RAID support.. i find it a rather weird omission.

^^True but then compared to the price of other P35 boards, u cant really complain. It is a budget board and all of the boards in that price range(~100$) come with the ICH9, for the ICH9R u have to up the budget to 130$ fot the DS3R
