Abit IP35 Pro Motherboard

Although I always try to minimize costs when building a computer, there is one component that you should never be cheap about. And that's the motherboard. I've heard a lot of people talking about the
ABIT IP35 Pro ATX Intel Motherboard
and its overclocking abilities and stability so I bought it along with a cheap Intel Pentium E2180 Dual Core processor at 2.0GHz. I have managed to overclock this processor from 2 to 3.2GHz with only one voltage increase and a stock cooler. It is like I bought a new processor, it's almost twice as fast. I can only say the best things about this motherboard and recommend it to everyone because I haven't had a single problem with it.
