I realised this is kind of long so I underlined the most important things
I have a Quad Xeon (x3210) B3 stepping and I currently can only run it at 8x300 even if I volt it at 1.5 Vcore. The only reason I can seem to find is that my motherboard is limiting me. I have an Abit AW9D-MAX with the Intel 975 chipset which aparently can not overclock quads at all. I am water cooling this with an Apogee, two swiftec dual 120 rads, mcp 665 and a home made PVC res (shaped like a T) My video is the 8800GT and for now (but not for long I hope) I am running two gigs of 667mhz kingston value ram. I have a decent PSU with two 16 amp 12V rails (antec earthwatts) and anyway long story short I'm looking for a p35 board to take my quad to 4 GHz. I do plan to use a tec and maybe even a water chiller in the near future. My budget is pretty much under $150 with a max of $200 and minimum of $100 (give or take on any of those)
Thanks, Ben
EDIT: I don't really want to spend the full $200 unless its the only way to 4GHz and more...
