Need Suggestions....

Guys,

I am thinking of getting a THIS and was wondering what is the best motherboard and memory I should get for any hope of a stable OC? I don't need a motherboard with SCSI, or onboard audio so fire away!

Thanks!

Do you have a price range? For that processor you need a socket 478 mobo, so something with either the i865 or i875 chipset.

For i875, the DFI Lan Party is a cool board:

Abit IC7-G is a little cheaper:

for i865:

Get some good PC3200 or higher.

Ok let's take this one step further. I am seriously in need of upgrading from a 2.0Ghz 512Mb combo. I have already upgraded everything else in my setup. I would like for anyone to fill in the blanks...

LIAN LI PC-65B
VANTEC VAN-520A
80Gb HD
ATI 9800 Pro
Motherboard ______________
Processor ______________
RAM _______________

There is only one condition. I want to stay with Intel... no offense to you AMD guys, but every system I have ever built/owned has been Intel.

Thanks in advance,
