After doing some more research, it seems stupid to buy a 3800+ x2 and o/c it at this point (at least for my intended goals). I've decided to do the same as someone else with the microfly. Since there are no decent matx c2d overclocking boards (ie 965p variants), I think I'm going to step back to a 945g matx for the time being. Anyone have any experience in here? I did some searching and found relevant information only on the 945p, but it makes me wonder if there's a similar issue with the g series 945 as there is with the 965. I'd be picking up a e6400 probably, so it should be easier on the fsb, and I'd have a better chance to eventually max the cpu instead of the motherboard (which I hope to purchase a better one once it's available for matx).
So two things:
1. 945g overclockability? Any decent boards in the matx I should be targetting? Only seeing a few at newegg
2. 945g vs. 965g. What's been improved greatly? I know I'll probably be able to hit higher fsb's with a 965p, but that aside. I know the 965g would have the better graphics integration, which is meaningless to me. Also I understand the 945 is still paired with the ich7 for the most part, which is more or less fine for me at the moment
