...For under $75.
I know the "best" is the NF7, I want to know what the best budget board is. Needs to be able to OC decent, like taking the 2500+ Barton to 3200+ stable.

Nice board there, but I forgot to mention, it needs to have SATA and RAID.

What about the A7V600-X?
It's got all the stuff, but does anyone know if it OCs?
