Mobo advice needed

A few months ago i jumped on the fry's deal for the e5200/ecs 7050 mobo combo. The problem with the mobo is the lack of voltage option for the cpu. The mobo is the computer part i know least about.

I am pretty much stuck at 3.1 ghz with stock voltage but know i can get quite a bit more out of it 🙂

Can anyone recommend me a cheap motherboard to do this with?

I don't need sli or 4 ram slots.

*add*
I read the system builder thread over in general hardware but both of the lower end mobos have been deactivated. I'll keep looking.
 
What price range?

Gigabyte EP45-UD3R is somewhere around $100-120 depending on current rebates, one of the best/highest rated overclocking boards according to numerous reviews (supports >500 fsb if your chip can take it).

Gigabyte EP43-DS3L is cheaper (~$80-90) but still known as a solid OC board.

Asus P5Q series are great boards.
