Thanks.
I will be OC'ing the E5200 btw. I read somewhere that the UD3L's don't have cooling for the mosfets, which might hinder OCing. Is it true that the P45 OC better than the P43 or is that just another marketing scheme?
It's true. P43's are bottom of the barrel chips usually. nforce 7 is usually better than P43.

You should be able to get a 320MHz FSB on any decent mobo. 320MHz FSB will probably be as high as you can OC an E5200, that's a 60% OC for 4GHz.
Everyone is giving great mobo suggestions, I'm just saying the chip will limit you before the mobo will.

Not even that high. Average is about what I'm getting... I'm really tempted to try another chip in this board to make sure it's not the board. E5000's routinely hit well under 4, somewhere in the middle though. 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 is high, but 4.0 is a miracle for these chips most times.

So, for my needs a P43 or P45 UD3L would work fine? Minus the cooling.
