I'm looking to upgrade to a platform with pci-e and I figure I will go mid-range am2 since i can save a bit on the mobo since amd and intel pricing are competitive now anyway. I believe i will go with a proc in the 120-165 range which is about a x2 4600+-5400+ so I wanted to know what decent overclocking mobos are out there in this range. I will be using ddr2 800 mem with only one vid card so sli or crossfire is not necessary. I have a audigy zs 2 pt so I would like more than one pci slot just in case. basically i want some overclockablility without too much cost as i think ill be upgrading to quad core in 6-10 months. also if you have experience with am2 cpus that are good for overclocking in the price range shoot those out to me too. thanks

ps im looking at the sticky but want to make sure that is current since am2 section looks a bit bare
