You could go for the Asrock N68C-S UCC. Ive got this board and it has just unlocked my Phenom II X2 550 to a Phenom II X4 B50 all 4 cores stable. It has lots of overclocking options in the bios and runs pretty sweet. Just got mine as a stop gap until November when I will upgrade the system to a much bigger setup. Take a look

Maybe this one ? (if on DDR2)

Supports core unlock and 6 core cpus in the recent versions.

Disadvantage is only 2 sata connections +1 ide (ignore ocuk's incorrect picture).

i was thinking of going the ddr3 way but thanks for the suggestion.
and are there any advantages/disadvantage of going matx form because if there isnt that much difference i will stick to the matx since my old case is matx.
