Anyone know from experience any motherboards with onboard video that can overclock a q6600 up to 3.6? I'd like to buy one but I dont want to experiment and get a dud.

GA-P35-DS3L is the best cheapest mobo that I know of, plus its easy to overclock. I'd get it & get a cheap video card.

That is a decent card for cheap but that giga mobo and the card is like $120ish. If I had to go that route I'd rather get a 8800gt or 3870 and do it right.

$89 is pretty cheap for a mobo, especially a good mobo for overclocking. You can get a cheap video card for $20 - $40.
8800GT or the 3870?
Alot of extra cost to play DVD's.

P35 run at 1333mhz fsb natively and reliably oc to 1600mhz, which is 3.6ghz for q6600. 1600mhz is basically guaranteed, if you do things right. If you really want ability to get 1600mhz fsb without doubt, get a x38 board, which runs at 1600mhz fsb natively, without any oc. But that's just unnecessary.

Q6600@3.6ghz, GA-EX38-DS4 X38 chipset motherboard, 8gb 800mhz ddr2 4-3-3-12, 8800GTS(g92)@780mhz, 1TB 7200rpm 32mb cache hdd, 850watt 12v rails=4x20amp powersupply
