Right now I have an asus p5l-vm-1394 and its horrible. It has almost no OC settings in the bios. I bought it because, at the time, I was not planing on over clocking. I can get my e6600 to run at 2.66 ghz w/ fsb of 296 and my ram is running at 740... the only thing I can do to OC is up the fsb and past 296 it just wont boot (but runs stable at 296).

Right now I am just trying to get a little more performance out of my current stuff to hold me over until I do a full upgrade in 6-9 months. I really don't want to put a lot of money into it at the moment. I am looking for the cheapest motherboard I can get that has a good chance of hitting 3ghz+ with what I got. (It can be micro or full atx)

I have:
e6600
Corsair xms2 2x1gb ddr2 675
8800gt
Antec Neo power he 500 watt psu.

I will also pick up a decent air cooler since right now I'm using stock hsf.

So, whats the cheapest motherboard that will get the job done?
