Looks like a decent board from looking at reviews. Not sure how it'd be for overclocking but the options appear to be there and look very much like the reference nVidia 650/680 BIOS'.
And yes, nForce 6xx's do Unlinked Memory so you can indeed get away with 667mhz memory and overclock. The memory will shift north or south of the speed you set as the chipset doesn't have a truly Async memory controller. It uses complicated dividers. Not that it matters at all
On the whole, if the price is right (I.e.- Sub £65) get it. Otherwise stick to the Asus P5N-E 650i which is around the £70 mark.

Only thing Im wary of is the x8 PCIe slot, even with a single card.
Im also looking at a XFX 650i, its a bit more expensive, but the place has cheaper ram, so a saving on overall postage.
Im looking to get a motherboard and 2gb of ram for around £120ish.
