Question
good oc mobo for 2.8C

ok, so i decided i'm gonna get the 2.8C http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...116-162&depa=1

NOW i need a nice mobo to go with that, id like it to be dual channel (eplain it to me) and i'd like it to have at least 3 RAM slots, and what else... other than to be able to OC well (i expect at least 3.6 from this CPU)

i'm on a budget here, but if adding money will make a noticable difference, that that's what i'll do

any suggestions?

Have a look at the ABIT "AI7" at Newegg, its about $100 and an excellent "enthusiasts" board having all the necessary features...

8 usb 2.0s... 4 RAM slots, 3 FW, chipset cooler, i like it all, but i don't like the orange board

So u think that the 865 PE is the best bang for the buck, or is an overall best for OCing

keep the suggestions comin plz

3.6 is gonna be hard to obtain with a 2.8C...if you want to OC that much get a 2.8 E and a really nice cooler

and this is a nice board for either CPU

I'd get the ASUS P4C800-E deluxe, it has the best Intel chipset for the socket 478 P4 and alot of great fetures. I overclocked my 2.8c P4 to 3.5ghz with the stock cooler before it became unstable.

Get this mobo. The overclocking features you get with this are unmatched for the price. And it is a very stable motherboard. Also go with the 2.8E, it runs much cooler and will be more suitable for overclocking.
