Abit IP35-E Motherboard only $60 at NewEgg AR (for those $200 Q6600 Quads)

got the board today, and i didnt think about my ram being PC533, which doesnt work on the board.

i put the ram in and start it up and 1 long bit, which means the ram is not seated correctly, i checked and checked and then i notice my ram was PC533. The board only supports PC667 and PC800.

so now i have to wait for the ram i just ordered
 
how is everyone's overclock on this board now that they've arrived.

MIne overclocks the Q6600 to 3.0 Ghz at stock voltage on everything except RAM which I had to turn up to 2.1. But my intel retail HSF won't allow me to go any higher cause it gets too hot.

I'm curious how everybody else did on their o/verclocks?

Mine is prime95 stable overnight running on all four cores at the simple 333mhz FSB overclock on the q6600.
 
I'm expecting I can hit the 425fsb with it.. my equiv Gigabyte board can do that speed :) Plus the trick with memory is to buy decent memory 1066mhz memory loves high fsb's... :)
