A Gigabyte or Asus P45 board seems to be the best buy, which might also be why they are out of stock in A LOT of places...

You're right, but when the Nehalems arrive this winter and my main rig gets an overhaul there will be DDR3 memory in my house. Sooner or later old parts drizzle around the household computers and then the DDR3 support in the Media Center PC may come in handy. In like two-three years or so
