hi all.
i am looking for a Micro Atx Mobo to replace my current Gigabyte GA-73Pvm-Sh2.

I am totally happy with this mobo , i have my core2duo E4500 running at just over 3ghz from the base 2.2 ghz.100% stable ,the GA is a great bargain matx. However i am wanting to upgrade my system memory from 4 to 8 gig ( Vista 64) and this mobo only had 2 ram slots and supports 4 gig max.

So i am looking for a replacement that is
MATX format
has 4 ram slots
will support at least 8 gig ram at 800mhz or better
has overclocking options in the bios
doesnt cost more than £100

i have been checking the various retailers for a week or so now and havent found one.Just as it looks like i have found one, i do some research and find that it doesnt overclock well or that the memory will only support 8 gig at 667 mhz and so on.

hopefully someone here at OCuk had a similar idea and has this specced mobo in their rig.

thanks all
 
thanks for that recomendation. I decided against it though due to the 8x lock on the pci-e .

Im running vista 64 and with ram so cheap at the moment , around £50-60 for 4 gig i thought i would upgrade to 8 gig and try running with no swapfile .So its just for the hell of it really.
