Intel boards are built for stability and reliability - not overclocking at all. Look around some more and wait for some other responses here. Also, look in the overclockers forum here and look at the sigs of those who overclock - check the boards they use that also have the 945 or better chipsets that support the dual-core processors.

i'm using an asus p5ld2 - it's got the 945 chipset and ich7-r for sata and IDE raid.

overclocks quite well too

IF you wanna OC one of those, have a VERY beefy power supply and a VERY beefy heatsink & fan (better yet watercool it) and make sure the mobo you get has lots of big capacitors.....those things suck up power like hell
