Having just bought a q9550 quad core and tried to install it in my gigabyte GA965 ds3 i found the board doesnt support it.. ( next time read the small print cpu does not support rev 1.0 of this board!!)

So now its time to buy a new board, need something cheap and cheerfull that supports my OCZ ddr2 pc6400, 8800GTX and sata drives.. ( not bothered on the sound car as i have my own)..

So whats cheep cheerfull and could overclock if i could ever be bothered to do so...

Any help welcomed

Pretty much any P35 board will do, I assume it's got a graphics card already

Also when you say p35 do you mean p45? cannot see 35 series on the ocuk site?..

look in the mm. There's a nice x48 gigabyte in there, i'm tempted myself to spruce up an older rig but trying to conserve funds for 5970...and a dremel to fit the beast.
