My FIC motherboard has died and I need a good replacement that basically has the same features. Although I have not tried overclocking yet I would like a board that would give me that option in case I want to try it.

Thanks for the help

865 chipset Asus P4P800 Deluxe , 875 chipset Abit IC7 Max 3 or Asus P4C800-E Deluxe.

Both boards offer great stability overclocking and good onboard peripherals.

According to Toms Hardware Guide (THG): Toms Hardware Guide (THG): Mobo Tsunami! 24 Boards with the 865/875P Chipset

THG is going to present one award per chipset in this large comparative test. Out of all the test participants, the Gigabyte GA-8KNXP offers the best equipment (high quality components), innovative features and high performance at a reasonable price. The broad range of extra equipment would cost about $50 at a specialty store. Gigabyte therefore receives the sought-after prize from THG.

The article compares and tests a lot of boards that will work with your processor.
