Hiyahh!

This is just a quickie really... but im wondering what would be a good super cheap motherboard for a cheap C2D 775 rig?

Must be able to overclock tho...

Any ideas?!

Thanks, Craig!!

Have a look at boards with a P31 chipset, very cheap but still good

The Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L is the cheapest... £46

Looking at the reviews, it overclocks quite good too... yey!

Defo a consideration!

I'd give the P31 DS3L a go as suggested, it isn't the most fully featured but it is cheap and does everything that most people will require.

Yeah, the only feature im after is really overclockability...

Got PCI Audio, PCI Wireless, PCI-E Graphics, 3 SATA HDD, 1 IDE DVD-RW, which i might change to SATA anyway...

Only need the one Ethernet port too now...!

So dont need too much!
