it's not the question of what board i'm going with atm i'm going to answer right yet for i'm still undesided, but i will put this out for u.
if ur not going to run SLi or even crossfire, but still want a decent OC'ing mb i'd recommend this board to u...
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R.
if u want the same great quality, but want to be able to run crossfire i would recommend this board to u...
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS4 Rev. 2.0.
and of coarse the Q6600.
i can't recommend ANY SLi mb's at this time for it's my opinion that most of them are junk. i believe that the 680i chipset is a GREAT chipset, but manufacturers have $hit yields with that product, but ship it anyway. MSI being the number 1 junk maker followed by EVGA. once again.. this is my opinion. ASUS has been my board of choice for the longest, but their quality seems to be slipping as well. i mite be making the move to Gigabyte.
the x38 is a good chipset, but i'm not interested in the v1(bios) boards. i'll let some bugs get squashed first. the Gigabyte x38 IS the best board out there from this new chipset, but the p35 chipset is the way to go "atm". as long as my waiting game stands i will eventually get the x38 (lol, to make a long story short in answering ur question). this is precisely why i want ATI's new 3800 series card to shine. hopefully these new 3800 cards do @ least as good as the 8800gt i will crossfire them. the 3870 is the card i am looking @ atm for crossfire. if all goes that direction i will be a happy gamer.
sry for the essay for i'm @ work and i'm getting paid to do this. :p
