if you are staying LGA 775 go Gigabyte ud3p its a beast or the 750i or 780i
this is the one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128358

New motherboard, what's the best out right now?

It's a bit out of my price range (around $180 here), and I hear 750i/780i isn't that good with quads. Or was that the 6 series?

The 750i and 780i are both also out of my price range

*EDIT*
And they are much more expensive than the UD3P. I'll settle for that, thanks guys!

They cant touch the UD3P board anyways.
671 FSB with dual core and DDR2 1400:

I built my friend's setup using this board and a Q9650. It OCed to 445 FSB at 4.0GHz with the following voltages:
vcore: 1.260v
PLL: 1.50v
VTT: 1.20v
MCH Core (NB): 1.26v
Not counting the memory divider and ram timings, thats all the voltage settings it took. So it is also an easy OCer to work with.

Picking up DI or LN2 tomorrow isn't likely at this point, but I'll post results when I get them. DDR2-1400:

Here is a link to a 530 FSB with a quad core and the UD3P:

Wow... Yeah, a UD3P or UD3R will get you a minimum of 450, but you're probably looking at 500+ easily on FSB.

Thats because you are running an E8500. But those boards cannot run 500 FSB with quad cores. Quads put more stress on the NB and therefore boards have a hard time pushing them as far as dual cores when it comes to the FSB.
With my board, I could run 515 FSB with a dual core at 1.43v NB, but with a quad I needed 1.55v NB for just 468 FSB (after updating to the bios with clock skew control... before that I needed 1.55v for 422 FSB).
