Good budget board
This board is excellent for the price and feature set; I bought it for 2 reasons. 1) Have original core2 E6420 CPU, OC'ed from 2.1 to 2.6 GHz. Since it is a 4 Mb cache model, that is the equivalent of the current E8xxx 'Wolfdale' processors, more or less. The board is in a cubby in a desk where the computer gets *hot*. The board has been on non-stop for 4 months now and does great. Not a lot of OC options, but with good memory, I bet I could bump the CPU up to 2.8-3.0 GHz. 2) The Intel X4500 graphics chip is still 'integrated', but is one of the better solutions for playing video and movies, as well as streaming video decoding.
Only caution on this board is that because it is budget, look to be sure that you don't need any slots/ports that it doesn't have.
This board has it where it counts: it is stable, and dependable.

Decent notebook HDD
Have a 2006-era laptop with a 60Gb of the exact same model where the HDD went bad. Heat kills HDD's and my bet is this laptop, while a pretty good runner, is also a bit hot.
This HDD has 80Gb of space and the required ATA-6 connection style. I haven't notice ANY disk related speed problems with the laptop, which reflects well on the Hitachi Travelstar.
It's getting a bit difficult to find replacement ATA-6 interfaces in retail; fortunately e-bay still has a lot of new OEM replacement offerings. SATA has taken over everywhere.
Cache matters, and 8 Mb may not seem like a lot, but on a smaller drive, you don't need as much.

P6T, Nice compromise in price vs features
OK, for starters the P6T is *not* the most recent socket 1366 mobo. It does not have USB 3.0 or SATA 6 Gbps. Having said that, it does have the triple PCI-e slots, and a load of other ports/slots. If I really want USB 3.0 I'll just buy an add-in card; considering I own no 3.0 devices, it's really a non-issue. Also, only the highest-end SSD's can max SATA 3.0 Gbps, and that's again irrelevant as I run a 4-disk RAID with conventional HDD's.
OK, I love how ASUS puts together the board layout with all the USB, firewire, power switch clusters, etc. across the bottom of the board. It keeps the case from getting cluttered with cables criss-crossing.
They have the SATA ports clustered now to either face forward, or they are out of the way of graphics cards. I have the otherwise excellent P5K-E, and its SATA ports do interfere with cards. Guess ASUS learned their lesson.
My particular board I purchased used, and I'm really happy with it so far. I'm used to the way ASUS puts together their BIOS, and all the tweaking/overclocking stuff is on one big menu. I was easily able to go in and adjust XMS to use officially 'overclocked' memory, and tweak another couple things to really keep it stable.
My only real complaint is that I run a PSU on bottom ATX case and the P4 cable just cannot reach the tippy-top of the board to plug in, unless I run it right across the vid card and everything else. I don't know if this can ever be changed, or maybe I just buy a different case.
Just checking Super Pi with a stock 960 CPU is like a 12 second run to 1 million...this is unbelievable. I've also been doing a lot of testing with a cheap 400 W PSU; the board and CPU just don't pull a lot of power, even during stress testing.
If you want the latest socket 1366 board, walk by the P6T. If you're like me, and you can contend with add in USB 3.0, a P6T can be backbone of a really nice rig.
