    What motherboard should i look for?

    hi..
    This is about motherboard selection for my new built.
    Just decided to buy Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Processor since it offers the best mix of cache size and clock speed(4MB of L2 cache,2.4 GHz,1066 MHz FSB).
    Absolutly want to overclock this.
    Now i am bit confuse with selecting right Motherboard for this processor?
    Please suggest me which board should i go for?

    I have the P5W and it is a decent board with some nice features...but my friends have found that the P5B is better for overclocking

    The abit AW9D Max is a top notch board and SLI works 100% perfectly on it...with hacked drivers - unsure of quad core support though.

    Thanks for the info guys - think im leaning towards the P5B deluxe.
    I have never overclocked before, will it be easy to overclock the E6600 on the P5B?
    The P5B has crossfire though, so i guess thats as good as SLI - had a quick google for SLI hacks for the P5b, couldnt get a clear answer as to whether or not it was possible. Will these mobos be compatible with DX10 gfx cards?

    I have the E6600 for mine and I love it. I put it in an Intel 965 series (I believe it is the DG965WH). I wasn't planning on messing with trying to overclock it or anything.
