Both of these boards are cheap and locally available to me.
I haven't done any overclocking since I overclocked my Celeron 200 MHz to 266 MHz with a simple FSB change in 1998 or so.
Now I want to play a bit and I have got a Celeron 420 sitting on my shelf with 2 GB of Corsair Twin2X matched memory. I also have a nice 400W Fortron PSU.
I've read about taking the Celeron 420 from 1.6 to 3 GHz on air. This was the reason I bought this stuff. I can afford more expensive parts but I want to play the optimization of cpu and economics game.
Now to the main topic, which board is better, the GA-P35-DS3L or the GA-965P-S3 ? Both are the same price.
Also, I don't want to game with this computer since I have other computers for that. Can I buy a simple PCI (not PCI-E) card and get vga display and will I be able to overclock the same? I want to spend about 20 bucks on display since I want to run code on this box that will just crunch through strings and light maths.
I like the GA-965P-S3 better straight off the bat because of the 6 SATA ports. I may use this computer for something else later (as usual).
