    Best mobo going if I was buying tomorrow?

    I'm looking for a board to overclock a 2.6C and be used for gaming exclusively. I'm going to run 24/7 at the oc'd speeds and will be using an slk-900 to start then water. These are the boards i've considered...

    abit ic7-g
    abit is7-g
    dfi 875pro lan party.

    At first i'm going to use Twinmos 3200 bh-5 in it, then either duel 3700/4000 gold.

    Please list other options you think I should consider

    thx for the reply but like I said "...if I was buying tomorrow". I also live in Canada so the max-3 won't be available for a good month yet here. Is the asus that much better to the ic7-g? I'm kinda partial to the abit because of the looks with the black pcb.

    it was released, but you cant find it for retail yet. as of now, the p4c800 is the leader.
