Default LGA775 Dual Core board?

Need help with LGA775 Motherboard for extreme overclocking.

I'm getting my replacement Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 back tomorrow. I already have a volt modded Asus Commando, but overclocking dual cores on that board will require some hilarious fast DDR2, since you can't change ratios.

I can get Asus Rampage x48 for 225$ New. They are normally 308$ in Norway.
I doubt my core i7 DDR3 stick will do any good on it, so then I will need some new DDR3, which can be expensive.

So going with a good LGA 775 board which supports DDR2 and good overclockability would be perfect.

Since I started overclocking around 7 months ago, I was never on the 775 platform, I jumped straight to 1366. So I can't say which boards are good and not. I've only been playing with my Asus Commando and Celerons.

But I've seen Gigabyte and Asus have had a lot of good LGA775 boards.

I need a list what to look for, I want some good boards, cause 10.5 x MP will require pretty high FSB.

*PS: Don't link me some Nvidia chipset board
Best Regards Kriztoffer
