I've got a great AGP card (Gainward 6800GT GS GLH), some great ram (Corsair XMS 256 x 4) and a lovely processor (Pentium D 945, I got a good deal). So now I want a board that will overclock this set-up well. Obviously newer chipsets will require DDR2 and PCI-E, so they're out. Transition chipsets (VIA's 880 and Intel's bridged 865) don't overclock well, so they're out. So now I'm looking for a highly overclockable, used board, with a chipset that will take these newer Pentium D's. I've got some great DDR2 in the works; are there any Pentium D, AGP, DDR2, high overclockable mobos out there?
To naysayers out there that think I should upgrade the whole set-up, when cheap(er) DX10 cards come out I plan on transitioning to a 650i chipset and eventually to Penryn (mmmm...45nm). But till then, I want to get the best out of what I got.
