Hi ,

Because of limited availably in the options regarding the motherboards for c2d, I have following options

C2D +
1) INTEL D946GSIL ~5 k
2) INTEL D965RY ~7.5k
3) ASUS P5LD2-VM SE ~5 k
4) ASUS P5B-VM ~7.5k


I am not a hardcore gamer but , I would prefer to over clock the Pc by 20 ? 30 % as ppl have overclocked C2D by 70 % w/o any problems.

Somebody told me that intel mobos can?t be over clocked . ( Is it true ?)

So now the only options are above 2 mobos. Has anybody successfully overclocked with these mobs? If yes then by how many %

Also I am planning to use 1 GB 533 transcende ram . How it will after the overclocking?

I will say, go for 965 Chipsets now rather than 945 :)

Ya, you won't be able to overclock using Intel Mobos, go for gigabyte or ASUS, if you want onboard graphics then have a look at Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3 (intel G965 express chipset, don't need an extra graphics card),
but if you choose to purchase ASUS p5B Deluxe, then you will have to purchase a graphics card.
