Need a mobo recommendation for a Q6600/Q9450 DDR2

I doubt I'll ever use Crossfire, I'm more of a one slot card kind of guy. I'm thinking of buying a 4870, but would much rather sell it off and buy a 4870 X2 over a second 4870.

I just want the fastest, best performing most reliable mobo that makes OC'ing as easy as possible. I'm trying to keep the budget under £100-£150, but if there's a big difference, I don't mind paying more.

I'm not fussed about sound card etc. I have X-fi. All I really care about is mobo performance, though things like number of USB slots, 3pin fan slots, size of mobo (bigger with more slots is better) would all help.

What do you guys think? I'm guessing one of the newer P45 or X48 mobo's?

Pick one out from this site if you can to make things easier.

Many thanks.
 
you should get the P5Q Deluxe...i've been really happy with it and its like...unbelievably easy to overclock my Q9450 to 3.4-3.6Ghz.
 
Here is what i think is going to happen just opinion, everyone is jumping on the CF bandwagon buying Mobos with 2 PCIe slots P45s X48s when there is no real world difference in performance between the new mobos and the P965, P35s In single card operation., ATI will be coming out with a 4850 4870 X2 card 2 GPUs on 1 card now if these yeild better or just as good as 2 card in CF and its cheaper for the X2 card I think alot of people will be upgrading there Mobos for nothing.
