I have a Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Brisbane, & am looking for a good mobo for overclocking.
I prefer Gigabyte or ASUS.

or would I be better off going with Intel?

I bought the 4400 because it was cheaper then Intel. I would like to be able to use for gaming, & would like to overclock.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Intel solutions are currently a much better value when OCing is taken into account. A 4400+ will usually give you an OC of around 3GHz, which is a .9GHz OC. However a E2160, which costs around $70, can OC to 3.2GHz, up from 1.8GHz on stock cooling. Also, Intel beats AMD clock for clock, so a 3.2GHz Intel would be roughly 3.6GHz AMD.

If you can return it, it would be a better idea to get an Intel. Then coop it with an ASUS P5k-e.
