I am looking for a mobo that supports pcie 2.0 and is good for oc'ing. Would prefer not to go over 150 bucks. If you have any suggestions let me know.
Thanks

Re: pcie 2.0 for intels
Do you want to run an Intel chipset or an AMD chipset?
Do you want ATX or Micro-ATX?

Re: pcie 2.0 for intels
i think apop means an intel chipset or a Nvidia chipset 
for 150 i dont think youll get one except maybe thruogh some outragous sale. the cheapest x38 ive seen is like 200

Re: pcie 2.0 for intels
Thanks for the input guys! I decided to pick up a asus p5k. Later this year i will prolly jump to a nicer board with ddr3 and upgrade my video again.
*Edit* Changed my mind bought the asus striker II with the nvidia 780i chipset

Well changed to yet another mobo. Did a bios update on the striker 2 (well i tried at least) and it blew up 
. wouldn't post past detecting dram. So after much cursing and some cooling off 
(didn't want to throw the board once i pulled it). I yanked the board bought it back to tigerdirect and swapped it out for the asus maximus formula. i was able to oc my q6600 to 3.2 in just a short bit of time. Much happier with this board.
