I'd avoid it, It has the same C19 northbridge as the 590i which caps out at 325mhz, you can get much higher fsb's out of the intel chips and the 680i, the AMD.ATI RD600 chipset should arive sometime soon though it's abit of a stillborn as only asus and dfi are going to make a board based on it and its the last chipset to be built by ati for intel cpu's for obvious reasons.

Conroe's / Allendales do like to give you free speed due to how cold they run. You should be able to get 3.5GHz out of that E6600 on air cooling no sweat with a good mobo.

Oh and welcome to the C2D owners club CrC-3rr0r. They really are blindingly quick chips!
