My motherboard (Intel DG965OT) died and I need a replacement. I've had no need for overclocking in the past, but I think I could benefit from higher clockspeeds now. I'm using an E6600 with 2x2GB Kingston PC2-6400 DIMMs. I'd like the cheapest, most reliable micro ATX motherboard I can get that'll allow some EASY (I'm a noob) overclocking. Preferably just upping the FSB. :) No other requirements. What should I buy?

Thanks!
 
I have used the Gigabyte G41-ES2L in a past build with no issues. The motherboard easily ran an E8400 to 3.6GHz with bus speed and a slight bump in core voltage. Check the Gigabyte website for latest BIOS.

Lifted from enginurd

E6600: 9 * 266 = 2.4Ghz, DDR2-533 << Stock
E6600: 9 * 333 = 3.0Ghz, DDR2-667 << Easy OC
E6600: 9 * 400 = 3.6Ghz, DDR2-800 << Good OC
