Arrgggg. Why are there always hundreds of redundant "what is the best this", or "this vs. that", or "give me a list of the n best products in such and such a catagory and a detailed 25 page report on why each products features"?
Please use Google, read the forums, one of the many hardware review sites, and visit the manufactures website, so that you can form your own opinion. After you have exhausted all of these options, and only then, should you make a post.
And when you do make a post please provide some detail so that people can provide you with better suggestions instead of just taking a crap-shot. Simply asking "what is the best insert-product-category-here" is not helpful to you because the word "best" is relative and you haven't provide us with the features and options that would qualify a product as "best" for your needs.

Obligatory disclaimer: In no way do I intend the above ***** to be a personal attack on anyone. Rather, it is only the observations and opions of one person (mainly myself
). Furthermore, although the language may at first glance seem condescending and supercilious, the intent of the ***** should not be constued as such. One should think of it as constructive critiscism.
Anyway, since I'm here I might as well attempt to answer your question.
If you would like a full featured board for mild to medium intensity overclocking I would recommend the Asus A7N8X delux. This board overclocks well with lowvoltage chips such as Bartons and T-Breds. If you just want to overclock get the Abit NF7-S. It has lots of features and overclocks great. I have one. Many people are also partial to Epox, or MSI.
