I originally purchased this Intel mother board when it was first released back in 2006. I loved it. The features, for example: RAID, Dolby Digital 5.1, Intel Dual Core 2 processor compatibility, hardware/ OS compatibility just to name a few. I have another computer in my living room and I wanted to switch out the MSI 865PE Platinum Series board. So, I decided to purchase the DP35DP mother board once again. It is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8/8.1, and 10. Who could ask for anything more?????

I've been putting systems together for over ten years and these days the one feature that I value above all others is stability. I've had issues that I could trace back to motherboards from all the major manufacturers on Intel and AMD platforms. So I decided to try this Intel board when it was first released and it's been so good that I have bought another one for my HTPC in spite of the fact that it's fairly old technology now. Here are some observations: The DP35DP is an Intel Media Series board. The main advantage of this is that the time between turning it on and the OS starting to boot is greatly reduced (no sitting through system info screens, logos etc). If you're an overclocker or want to tinker with voltages this is not your board, although I have BSEL modded the E5200 CPU in one of my systems and it's rock solid. The systems I've run on these boards have been far and away the most stable PCs I have ever looked after. I've never had any issues that could be traced back to hardware, be it RAM, soundcard, NIC, whatever. The stock fan for modern Intel CPUs gets automatic speed control on this board that works extremely well. Intel Desktop Utilities is also a handy piece of system monitoring software. While I'm mentioning software, this board has run XP Pro, Vista 32 bit, and now Windows 7 64 bit, as well as a couple of months with Linux Mint, with no issues whatsoever. I've used another cheaper Intel board, the DP43TF, which is a little slower to boot and the initial BIOS versions needed some work. Again though, the board was (is) rock solid. If you search for the board one of the interesting sectors that found the DP35DP to be an outstanding workhorse was the music industry. It was a prized board for DAW systems, one of the uses I put it to. Search the Sound on Sound forums for more info. I can't see myself buying another brand of motherboard unless the market changes significantly. It makes sense to buy the board from the company that makes the chipset and CPU, as well as the reference board that all other manufacturers base their designs on. Intel also has undeniable ties with Microsoft (which to me means that they can work together for system stability when new hardware and drivers are introduced). The main negative for this board now is simply that it's a DDR2 board so the RAM it takes is gradually becoming a good deal more expensive than the DDR3 that modern boards take. For a 64 bit system with oodles of RAM that's an important factor to take into account.Read full review
The DP35DP is very similar to the DG965WH minus the legacy stuff. The DP35DP does not have serial, parallel printer port, or ps/2 ports on the back I/O. This means you must use a usb keyboard and mouse. The board takes many types of cpus such as core2extreme core2duo, celeron, pentium ect. The board three pci-express x1 slots and comes with one pci-express x16 slot. I advise hardcore gamers against getting the board as the board is not intended for that usage and lacks multiple pci-express x16. However this board is great for those who don't need serial, parallel and ps/2 ports. The board comes with one esata and five sata ports which reduces the clutter when adding optical drives. The board is great for multitasking, and perhaps limited gaming. The massive number of usb and three pci-express x1 makes this board a great pick.Read full review
Unfortunately the new mobo didn't fix my problem. Must be the power supply, though the voltages all appear to be there. I expect that this mobo is good, can't prove it. Yet.
