Good mobo for E8500 OC'ing?

Probably a 4870 or 4870X2. I most likely won't be running XF. Yeah, after shopping around for DDR3 it seems kinda expensive. So, lemme rephrase? Good, Decently priced OC'er for an E8500, with DDR2. Hoping to reach ~500FSB easily. Any specific brands? ASUS, Gigabyte, DFI, etc? Or do all...

Good mobo for E8500 OC'ing?

Hey guys, i'm looking for a decent DDR3 motherboard for overclocking a C2D (E8500), without going extravagantly. What'd a decent one that can reach high FSB's overall? Should i get a X48, P45, or 790i Ultra? (It should fit a Thermalright 120 extreme and be decently featured)

no, my probelm is that im being screwed over because of my RAm - which cant run up to spec of its ddr400, only ddr361, and my fsb. i have a feeling that my CPU is much more capable. see currently, my max fsb is 253, my max multi is 10, and therefore my cpu runs at both maxes at 2530.... limited!
