Good mobo for q6600 G0, 8GB DDR2

[KingGheedora]

I ordered most of the parts for my system. See my thread for list of parts.

I just need a motherboard. I want it to work well with w2k3 64bit, and vista 64, and work with 8GB of RAM that I got (G.SKILL). Also would like ability to overclock, but I probably won't o/c for at least a month or two. I want something that is super stable to run the 8GB of RAM at 400MHz.

So far I'm looking at the Asus P5K Deluxe, the Abit IP35, and the Gigabyte DQ6. Open to other options as well. If a board could support even more than 8gigs of ram that'd be nice, but I haven't seen any P35 chipset boards that do.

woops, meant to post this in mobo forum. Can this be moved?

The P5K shouldn't have any problems supporting 8GB of memory. I haven't check on the others, but I'm partial to the P5K. Great board!

Another vote for the P5K, I picked up the Premium and it's worked out great so far.

Gigabyte P35-DS3R
or P35C-DS3R if you want 4 DDR2 slots + 2 DDR3 slots

I'm getting the P35C myself for future proofing once DDR3 comes down in price...a lot.
Otherwise I will be going 4x1 on DDR2 800 and filling all the slots up (max of 8gb...4x2)
