Need a new MB

I need a new Motherboard that will do moderate overclocking and work with the following.

LGA775 Core2Quad Q6600
DDR2
SLI

I don't really need to have much else, onboard LAN and sound are pretty standard these days, so those should be there.
RAID is not needed.

What do you guys recommend?

There is a fair amount of personal preference in making a specific recommendation, especially without a ballpark price target.
I had mentioned a P45 chipset, having totally missed the SLI requirement.
SLI boards aren't cheap. You're probably looking at an ASUS, eVGA, DFI or XFX board, with a nvidia (750i, 780i, 790i, etc) chipset.

Are the nVidia chipsetted boards the only ones that do SLI?

To the best of my knowledge, for a socket 775 board, yes.

If you let go the SLI requirement, the ASUS P5Q PRO is excellent with that proc.

Here is a suitable EVGA product.
