Need a recommendation for a C2D and 7950GX2

[imported_redlotus]

I'm finally getting around to updating my computer (and making the switch to Intel). I'm looking to upgrade my RAM, CPU and mobo. Thing is that I'm keeping my 7950GX2 until next year. Nvidia's website has a list of mobos that are compatible with this card, but it is woefully outdated. So the question is, has anyone had any success using a 7950GX2 with a 965 mobo? Or would it be better to go with a 650i-based mobo just to be sure? Of course, overclockability is also a concern. So far, I've been looking at the MSI P6N SLI-FI and Asus P5NE-SLI. Also, if it helps, I'll probably be buying a E6320 or E6420 C2D and DDR2-800 to go on this board.

Thanks for your help.

WTH!?!?! Is this a stupid question, or has nobody tried a 7950GX2 on the 965 chipset?

I am using a 7950gx2 with an e6300 on an ABIT AB9 Pro. E6300 running at 2.6 on vista 32 bit. I was overclocked to 2.9 ghz on xp but for some reason it's not stable at that speed on vista.
