I'm running a Gigabyte GA-X38-DS4 board + Q6600 overclocked to 3.0GHz here. Serious potential and very tweakable. But if you get it, you MUST buy memory that has manufacturer datasheets available (like crucial, corsair, Kingston, etc.) so you know what to set the voltages and timings to, or you'll have a hell of a time getting it working properly. Once you do, though, wow does it perform. And the dual BIOS backup is awesome just in case something freaky happens.
