The chipset Intel H61 has not native support for PCI bus. Therefore it is not suitable for Juli.
You should not rely on cheap system boards. At least all capacitors must be solid-state on the good system board.

How about the H67? Does it have the same problem?
That is the one I purchased. I was disappointed that one could not disable SPREAD SPECTRUM with the H67 version, as if I have any idea what that means and how it affects the board's "audio" behaviour!
Could it be that the 1155 boards are not suitable for cMP use?
I don't quite understand about the board's expense. I do nto remember paying much more for the recommended GUGABYTE boards. This one was cheaper than the GIGABYTE x68 board I had tried out with disappointing results.
Other than your previous recommendation, which I feel quite sure is about the same, BIOS wise, as the one I tried, is there anything else out there that looks interesting to you?
"How about the H67? Does it have the same problem?" - Yes. This chipset has not the native support for PCI also. Also as well as P67, Z68, H61. Only Q67 and B65 has the native support for PCI but it's bios settings do not correspond to requirements of cMP2.
"Could it be that the 1155 boards are not suitable for cMP use?" - For example GA-H67M-UD2H-B3 is quite suitable for cMP use but only with PCIe sound card.
High cost of the system board (not less than 100 $ approximately) confirms the general high level of fabrication and components that influences on SQ.

I should have been more clear with my question:
is there an 1155 board suitable for cMP with JULI@?
I guess there is not!
Thanks, again.
NO for Gigabyte's system board with "classical" (advanced for cMP2) bios settings. It is possible to try Asus P8Q67-M DO (it's bios settings is quite advanced; see manual from asus website).

might be a good choice.
Can't find one for sale.
In Moscow is on sale :)

Looks like it has good BIOS and the PCI native support and good build quality.
Maybe will we get it in a few months.
Does this look like a good board to you?
Where does it fall in the range of prices?
Yes, it's not bad board. Although at a cost of $150 all capacitors could be solid state (as in a Gigabyte boards for the same or even lower price).
