your typical great overclocking board answer is going to be the Gigabyte EP45 UD3P. Probably the best overclocking board in the LG775 class
So my mobo purchase was stupid... next buy?
Ok well i bought a P5Q-Pro off ebay about 2 months ago for 52£ (LOL now i know why it was so cheap..)
Turns out its a bit of a rubbish overclocker for Quads and i cant get a stable OC over 400 FSB on my q9650 =(
SO.. i am demoting the P5Q to my olddddeee server (IF it supports a P4 640???? Or il just bung it back on ebay..) and buy a new motherboard for my quad!
Sugestions please for a good overclocking mobo! Preferably 150£ or less!
Thanks!

$119 (and not including rebate) @ Newegg.
Just bought that board, and with a E8500 and casual OCing, it won't be quite bad.
Quad overclocking is a beast in itself, and more so with power and heat it'll produce (one of the main reasons I nixed getting a quad, it's hotter than Hades in GA in the summer!).

Yes, according to Asus' website, the Pentium 4 Prescott 640 (socket LGA775) is supported by the P5Q Pro.
