Hey all
In the process of choosing a suitable upgrade for my system. So far I've decided on a Conroe E6600 CPU (which I intend to overclock somewhat) and GSkill 2GB 6400 HZ Memory. Obviously I need a mobo which will cater for these two. I don't need a mobo which has a million features which I just won't need - I've got a separate Wireless PCI card and sound card, so not fussed about whether it has that. I only need the basics really - USB 2.0, Fast ethernet, and the fact that it must be quite overclockable. Also, it'd be preferable if it worked with this combination of CPU and RAM "out the box" - I don't want to have to fool around getting bios revisions, etc.
I guess the main contenders will be Gigabyte and ASUS at this stage. Would appreciate your guys' advice.
Thanks.
