but im quite unsure as to what microatx board to use. and im also curious, im new to these X2 duel core processors, do they run pretty hot? should i worry much about cooling with a microatx case?

I use a Biostar TForce 6100-939 and love it. I have it up to 291 HTT and my Opteron 144 at 2.6GHz. It's stable, has good cooling, and clocks very well. I'd suggest you take a look at it.
