| 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?

1 edit | Re: Need a new MB 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. | |

If you let go the SLI requirement, the ASUS P5Q PRO is excellent with that proc.
Here is a suitable EVGA product.
