Which Mobo
Okay I have to build a very cheap new system and have decided on 3 of the components, just stuck on what mobo to get.
Other important components
1gb OCZ DDR2 800 ram (picked up for £50)
E4300 1.8Ghz Core 2 Allendale (seems better cos of lower fsb)
leadtek 7800GTX (got for ~£90)
I need to find a good micro ATX mobo, that supports the core 2 and will overclock fairly well so anything above about ~260fsb would be nice
Current choices are between (feel free to suggest others)
Conroe-945G-DVI
Asus P5l VM i394
Abit IP-95
Cheaper is better and I would like to know which is best for Ocing (feel free to suggest)

Someone else is building a c2d system with a gigabyte motherboard, erm...

As far as overclocking goes, my motherboard P5W DH (£150 when I bought it) does it quite nicely (up to 400mhz without changing anything but the fsb, e6300), but I'm sure other mobos will too. I'd also be *slightly* suspect of the Asus now as a lot of the ones coming seem to have slightly shoddier build quality. Someone mentioned something about a new factory ??

If you can afford it in the budget abit F-I90HD - doing 333 or so with an E4300 without a BSEL mod.
