Looking for a great nvidia based overclocking board

After many hours of messing with my lan party icxf3200 mobo and its varying degrees of glitches (as others have reported too). I have decided to plumb for a new motherboard. Now in the past I have always gone for nvidia based boards when using AMD. Since I liked the simplicity of the boards I would now like to use an nvidia based board with my E440 dual core. My question is, do you know of any good boards with nvidia based chipsets for core 2 duos and overclocking? Is it possible to get it with the newest P35 chipset or am I getting confused here? Eventually I would like to put a quad core into this new board too.

All help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
 
I'm with Tripnologist on this one. The revised 680i boards are much better with Quad-Cores, but the best boards for Quads are P35 based. Get a Gigabyte P35-DS4 and a Q6600 and it will clock better than the equivalent NVidia based product. Plus, the chipset runs cooler (EVGA don't make a fully water-cooled version of the 680i board for nothing, once overclocked it runs very warm indeed), the disk controller is better, and the board itself is better laid out for a clean-looking install. I've had the revised EVGA 680i board for almost 3 months now and it's good, but my P35 (P5K, DS4, IP35-Pro) based rigs destroy it on overclocking performance.
