Well, as I'm planning to buy a new system at the end of this year I was wondering if there are some very cheap alternative motherboards that can achieve the +/- same results as a Asus P5W DH Deluxe used in most overlocking tests. Personally I find this price a bit high and I was wondering if for example an ASRock ConRoe945G-DVI could come near that Asus board.
If not what other options do I have? Over 200 dollar is a lot of money for a motherboard that will have a cheap duo core. Hope someone has a solution to my problem....thx.

PS..new upcomming sytem?
ASRock ConRoe945G-DVI
Intel E6400 Allendale
WD RaptorX 150GB WD1500AHFD

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138037 Got 505 FSB and the S3 got 455, quite a differance.

I have my doubts if that will be a real stable overclocker.....

Cons: It has a problem OC'ing at anything other than a 1:1 FSB. I thought it was just my board or memory, but this is a widely reported problem. Hopefully, it will be fixed in an updated BIOS.
