What motherboard for overclocking an E6600?

Alright guys. Got a budget of around £100 and was thinking of the Asus P5N-E.

I'm getting an E6600 and I'm hoping to get maybe 3.2-3.5ghz out of it. A decent overclock anyway but nothing extreme. Will the Asus suffice?

how about the gigabyte ds3?

It's pretty much a shhotout between the P5N-E SLI and the DS3. I'll probably be getting the P5N-E SLI because:

1) The RAM runs asynchronously meaning I can save money on cheaper RAM.
2) Even if I don't need it I know SLI is there so always have the option.

Yes, no worries.

Cool Asus it is then.
