the best mobo would be the DFI Lanparty 250UT. based on nf3 250u chipset, OCs better than the other 754 mobos out there.
also, it is a 754 chip. 939s are a hair faster per clock due to dual channel RAM, but more expensive as well.
if you are going 939 wait for an nforce4 sli board (asus preferably) and get a 90nm 3500+ as that will be your best bet in terms of overclocking potential, if you want the best you can buy get an fx55 but it wont be that much better then the 3500+ unless you plan on overclockng on water or a phase cooling system
First off unless you will be running sli out of the gate all NF4 will be is a high priced immature solution...
I say get an MSI NEO2 Plat like mine and a 939 socket...
If you want bang for the buck my little 3000+ 1.8ghz cpu which is about 80 bucks cheaper can do 2.7ghz at 1.63v and has as much potential as the 3500+ and in the end represents the biggest overclock currently available for the socket 939...
However if you have suspect ram then the low 9x multiplier will definitely hamper you and likely you will be running a 133dram setting or 3:2 cpu/ram divider...
Some say the 3200+ is the best bet. Can be had for like 50 less then 3500+ and the 10x multipler makes 250 fsb ocing with 4x HTT to hold the 1000, plus works well with current ram to ge 1:1 or 6:5 (166) ram settings...
jkresh is incorrect in saying the 3500+ is your best bet in coing potential...All od these chips are similar stepping and many may hit same top speed. the thing that is nice about the 3500+ is the use of the 11x multiplier which menas more potential to get high oc with 1:1 ram timings which in the end maybe a 2-5 % performance over many not running 1:1 systems.
