I did a lot of research and asking around before I purchased my Asus P5Q Pro motherboard. It turned out to be a great overclocker like everyone suggested.
Does a Socket 1156 equivalent exist? Looking to drop an Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz and do some moderate overclocking. Might aim for about 3.6-4.0Ghz.
I'm also partially considering i7 as well (I do VMWare and audio-production, and some other tasks that require multi-threading). So if you can alternatively suggest a 1366 board I would appreciate it.
Sata 6Gbps would be a huge bonus. 2 PCI-E 16x slots highly preferred. Multiple PCI-E 4x or 1x, and/or PCI slots desirable. RAID is required.
Alternatively, I WILL sacrifice some overclock-ability and lean towards a very solid/stable board.
