I'm trying to get my Q6600 to 3.4-3.6ghz on air. I wanted to invest in a new mobo, because it's impossible for me right now to hit 3.4-3.6ghz on my current board. Any advice on a new board? I don't want to invest too much because I might invest in an i7 pretty soon.

The mandatory UD3P recommendation.

They love quads. How fast are your RAM sticks by the way? Throw in a couple of faster sticks too if you're not having it already. Gives you more OC headroom. The UD3P clocks 1200mHz RAMspeeds no probs.

What's your budget and how much is too much?

Either the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R if you have no plans for Crossfire, or the GA-EP45-UD3P if you do plan to Crossfire.

Id have to agree with the EP45-UD3 series of boards. Excellent overclockers and the P45 is a solid chipset.
