Don't know the other CPUs, but I've OCed my Q6600 from 2.4 to 3.3 without any stability problem, running weeks nonstop, with a $200 (i think) board - the Gigabyte DS4. And OC really shows up in render times. But if I were getting a new PC, I'd most probably get the C2Quad Q9450. 20 percent faster than the Q6600, and even more overclockable.
