you'll be struggling just to get it stable over 450fsb. dual cores should be no problem though
yes, p45 is the best chipset to clock quads generally speaking, but not everyone that has a p45 mobo will know how to clock it this high. there's a lot more to it than just raising the fsb for quads. and to get to the more extreme side of 600fsb that op was asking, i'll challenge anyone to find a screenshot of 600fsb on a quad.
will this be a short session benching board or a 24/7 board? if it's for 24/7 overclocks, you're not going to be able to run it at 600fsb no matter which board you choose. well... at least not at healthy voltages and if you want the mobo to last more than a few months. and if it's to clock that q9550 in your sig to 600fsb, then i'm 99% sure you're not going to hit 600fsb no matter what. you'll be struggling just to get it stable over 450fsb. dual cores should be no problem though
Definately go with a P55 board.
I run 470fsb 24/7 now to get 4ghz. I want to run 529fsb 24/7 to get 4.5ghz
That is not a 775 socket.
what are you using for cooling?
The DFI P45 JR is an awesome p45 MB for the money. I'd rather go with a UT if I could do it again but I'm happy with what I picked a little over a year ago.
Check out how my Q9550 and 8GB of DDR2 of different brands roll in it at 500FSB+

DFI P45 JR is a good deal at Newegg.

i R teh noob to [H]ardness..... so no F1@M1NG me!
to get something around 600 for FSB.. the best shot is a P45 board.... i wish you luck... generally any of them can get around 450-500mhz but to do what YOU want... you're going to need a board with better cooling on the NB and a good BIOS....
like the Asus Maximus II, Gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ6 and P5Q Deluxe for the lower end...
i recommend getting a NB waterblock and probably some better MOSFET heatsinks for whichever board you choose to maximize the lifespan of the board at those levels.... since you have watercooling already
id look at reviews for max FSB as there are plenty of boards that may surprise you....
good luck man!
