GA-P35-DQ6 and
GA-X38-DQ6

I have already bought q9300 processor and 4 GB DDR2 ram..

I am know that Edius NX have two cards on PCI-E x 1 , right?

I would be grateful for your help.

Hi,
Go the Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 the new intel chipset is great, I own one and have never had a problem, They may be a bit dearer but well worth it.
They make them with two options for ram, either DDR2 or DDR3 so just make sure you get the DDR2 model. Also have a great Bios for overclocking ect.

Thank you Steve. Is the chipset x48 newer than x38? because of I check in my shop and X48 is cheaper than x 38 and I do not know why ;)
Please let me know if x48 is better than x38?

And if on this motherboard is enough space? for - 2 cards on PCI-E x 1 and one Graphic CARD on PCI-E x 16? and Is still one PCI slot free or not?

I am know that x48 have a radiator on the bottom. I have a new cooling system - Big Typhon - and is from bottom too.
Can I Take off this radiator?

Sorry, Yes you can remove the crazy cooler from the bottom, I had to do that with mine as I use a after market fan, it does come with insrtuctions on how to do it, and it is very easy to do. Takes a couple of minutes.
