Im new to the forum so sorry if this has been asked many times before (i did look put couldnt find much usefull) .Im looking for a motherboard for a Q6600 that has good BIOS and is easy to overclock for a noob like me .
My case has a sidewindow so I was looking for something that could support 2 or 3 screens and has lots of nice looking copper bling on it too .
An ASUS P5E64 WS Professional Workstation Series - motherboard - ATX - iX38 has been metioned as i supports multiple screens and has wifi network ability which i would find usefull .
Please help ,all comments and ideas appreciated :)

Will a GA-P35-DS3L Suffice or is it going to hold back some of the performance. Has it been tested on this motherboard before. If so do tell because im thinking of upgrading my old Pentium D 820 Proc. with a Quad.

Damn the updating of hardware never ceases. Its like im subscribing my computer to coupe with future software and games.

@Alfrido
It depends. If you want high overclocks (IE over 3.6GHz) with little effort you'd be better served with a GA-EX38-DS4 (better power regulation). If you take your time and pick quality RAM, you should be able to take a Q6600 to it's thermal limits even with the DS3L. With overclocking as always your mileage may vary.
