My best advice is don't change motherboards for an old 775 cpu just to overclock it. It's not worth the cost; there aren't any good NEW boards left. If your board works, I wouldn't swap it out with a used board. Use it until you can save enough to upgrade the cpu/board/ram at the same time.

I had a Asus P5Q series motherboard and it was a great. I even blew that mobo once because I was trying to oc to 4ghz loll..the asus customer support didn't ask any questions and send me a replacement after I send them my blown mobo. It would let me oc my q6600 to 3.6ghz while my xfx 750i will let me oc only to 3.4ghz

if you can find a board with a P45 chipset (you have the Q45) from reliable source that is cheap (used) you'll find it better to overclock that q6600.

though i am actually surprised you can't raise the FSB from 1033 to 1333 to get a little something more.

Crossfire on a 500 watt PSU is asking for trouble and a blown PSU in a couple months. Don't do it.
