Alright I got a classmate who is wondering if he should go with an Intel 6300 or an AMD X2 4200 AM2. I told him the 6300 would be a lot better if he overclocked even a little bit but the motherboard selection for intel mobos is kind of lame compared to the am2s. He's got about $800 to spend and he is looking for a motherboard that meets the following specs:
a) Costs $130 or under
b) Supports DDR2800 mem
c) 2xPCI Express slots (SLI)
d) Socket 775 (C2D)
