For what socket?

I'm assuming the latest, 1155:

ASUS P8P67 PRO LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $185

GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD4 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $190

ASUS SABERTOOTH P67 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $215

ASUS P8P67 Deluxe LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $240

GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD5 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $260

well if he said "looking for something up to date" it means he's buying a new motherboard for his current CPU or possibly upgrading to a different CPU and motherboard just a guess ;)

Depends on the socket or CPU you have. I have been using Asus Crosshair republic of gamers motherboards for the last several years and love them. I currently have a Crosshair formula II. These mother boards are specifically designed for games.

I wouldn't recommend it over a P8P67 Pro/EVO Mobo, don't gt me wrong its as good as the other ones but as far as I know the only difference is the looks nad so called military grade components, although I don't believe it has biult in bluetooth 8)

I would wait for later revisions of current Sandy Bridge tech motherboards. If you have to buy now and have money burning a hole in your pocket stay away from anything Asus at this point unless you like having to flash the BIOS when you get the board. They seem to have had the most problems so far in regards to Sandy Bridge motherboards.

I didnt have to flash the bios, but I did anyway to make me happy :) Regardless everything plugged in, installed windows, blah blah, and then I updated just to be happy. Its quite a nice motherboard. I think the problems are mostly stemming from RAM and there supposedly is another bios coming out in a week.

All P8P67 motherboards have the built-on blutooth. Also the Sabertooths are great as they come with a thermal jacket and military grade components.
