Hello
I would need your help figuring what motherboard to choose for these two parts I already have:

OCZ Gold XTC 2gb ddr2 800mhz, 5-5-5-12

and

Intel core2 E6550 2,33ghz 1333mhz bus speed

For the MB I choose three :

the GA-965P-S3

the GA-P35-DS3R

the Abit IP35-pro


My questions are:

to get the most of my already bought components without overclocking, what motherboard would be best on a price\performance basis (the 965p-ds3 is cheapest, the abit most expensive)?

If I was to overclock, what should I expect with this ram and all three MB? Would I get to 2800ghz on the processor with any MB and without loosening the ram timings?

I would really appreciate your insight on this, since I have the feeling the parts I have do not fit well together...

Thank you

HL
