Currently running a 939 single core Opty at 2.8ghz. What would be a good idea as far as a motherboard/RAM combination that could handle a current Core2Duo (that i would later resell) but also would accomodate a quad-core Q6600 in August? I do plan on overclocking as much as the chip will take. Basically I was wondering what I could get now as far as MB and 2gb of RAM that would work with a current dual core but also work with overclocking a quad when i get one if thats possible. I'm not up to date with intel stuff, so any help is appreciated. Any ideas?

the gigabyte 965p-ds3 seems to be one of the favorites in the o/c community - good price, features and it supports what you want it to.
