What is your reason for replacing the mobo?

 

[Nexen]

Basically i'm having comp issues, and i think my mobo is screwed up. The nForce chipset on the motherboard is usually really hot when my comp screws up. Thread here: Comp Issue

Compatible Mobos?
I'm thinking 1 of these would be most compatible and seem to match up best with my old MSI P6N. Also, if my CPU FSB is 1066, will it work on mobos that support higher FSB?

Those mobos will be find with your Q66 but have you considered using the Intel mobos? Generally they're in better shape than Nvidias- have a look at P45 based motherboards.
