I need help in choosing a motherboard with capabilities of overclocking, with slots for a core2duo.
I want both DDR3 and DDR2 lists. :)
I cannot overclock D945GCNL right? :(

Verify your CPU support; use links above.

Side-by-Side {LGA 775 DDR2+DDR3} http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627%20600007879&IsNodeId=1&srchInDesc=ddr2%20ddr3&page=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=280|13-131-629^13-131-629-TS,13-128-449^13-128-449-TS,13-138-164^13-138-164-TS I included Biostar but I never recommend them; your chices are few and far between.

Regarding the Intel D945GCNL the few searches I've done said 'NO OC' which doesn't surprise me. Most Intel MOBO won't allow OC, even most new Intel P67 MOBOs won't allow OC of their own 'K' unlocked CPU.

I never recommend Intel MOBOs they are oddly problematic and generally very basic -- like an OEM MOBO.

Good Luck! :)
