Bored with the board

I've got the SLI/E8500 system all up and running. I'll snap some pics later. I have to say though, I'm quite frustrated with the Abit IN9. I cannot get it to overclock at all, or at least nothing that would be worthy of a Core 2 Duo chip. We're talking very, very slight clock bumps at best. Maybe. I can't get it to budge. To make matters worse, my memory is rated DDR2 1066, but the board can't handle the necessary voltages so it's running at a paltry DDR2 667. Lame!

So, after I sell my Q6600 I think I may snag the EVGA 750i. Memory standard is DDR2 1066, it supports Wolfdale out of the box, and I've heard nothing but praise about its overclocking abilities. Not to mention that it has the almighty Clear CMOS switch, just like Abit boards.

It's really frustrating, because the QuadGT overclocked so easily. Voltages would auto-adjust and I had no trouble getting fat overclocks. My buddy, who I gave the board to, is running an E6300 at 3ghz on that thing.

I'm not in a rush or anything. Right now my priority is actually to pay off my Carvin gear; I bought it with zero-interest financing for one year, and I have to pay off a certain amount by September to avoid the interest hit. And besides, I'm running a 3.16ghz chip and 4GB of RAM, so at this point the performance boost probably wouldn't be worth the investment. But it'd be nice to have a board that can do justice to my hardware.
