Very good motherboard for core 2 duo 6600 processor??

[ve_blackjack]

Hi there,

I always have been an amd fan, so i know all about amd processors and motherboards, but right now the core 2 duo processor is the best choice with such prices, but i dont know almost anything about them, there are various chipsets (975, 965) , nvidia 590 and many others, so i dont really dont know what is the best for me.

i want a very good performer motherboard with good overclocking capacibilities but i dont want the best of the best , but i want a very good memory, so which motherboard brand (chipsettoo ) and what memory i have to choose for a 6600 core 2 processor.

thanks in advance

He said he wanted it to overclock, noob!

Asus P5W DH ----------best, but costs $260
Asus P5B Deluxe ------2nd, cost about $200
Gigabyte 965P DS3 ---tied for a close 2nd, at about $160

I have a DS3 also, and it's a pretty good performer for the price. The high end motherboards might squeeze a few extra mhz out of an OC, but they cost $70 more.
