    DS3 seems to be the best choice for ocing and is very cheap.

    DS3.

    cheap, but does great.
    Bad Axe requires too many mods, and seems to be prone to dying for no reason... I personally avoided it, after seeing some of the mystery death of those boards.
    $250 boards shouldn't just die for no reason...

    yeah it is, P5B non duluxe looks good, but i havent seen any good OCing, also Asus requires vmod to achieve insane clockspeed

    500fsb on air can be done on stock DS3 board ( with ES chips of course, retail ones r crap)

    we haven't seen anything about the P5B non deluxe..
    But I will jump on one. the Deluxe have good comments (but not the best for overclock). Anyway I don't mind since I aim for 350 fsb.
