If you are looking at overclocking that Intel board will not allow it. As far as the ABIT I say go for it. You will be able to overclock it and should be able to reach 3.0 GHZ easily.

Go with a Albatron board they are cheap and very fast. I recomend a board with the 845pe chipset.

I would go with the Albatron px845pev pro it is an excellent board and cheap and overclocks really well.

Id recommend the gigabyte PE667 board, its been rock stable for me and at a $125 Canadian price, you cant lose. But the ABIT is also a good board! lots of features and a great company!!!
