I've currently got Asus P5NSLI, since when I bought it, I didn't even consider overclocking. Now, however, I want to pull more power out of the chip, so I've started looking around for a better board. I've read that boards with nforce 570 chipset are not good for overclocking. And I'll probably have to agree with that, since when I tried to use the on-board overclocking feature, the computer got stuck and I had to reset BIOS so that it'd work again.
What should I be looking at when buying, considering I've never done overclocking? Not looking for features; stability and simplicity are my main concerns. Also, don't want to push that cpu too far, only up to 3Ghz or so. Will use it with Kingston 1Gb 667Mhz DDR2, might upgrade to 2Gb yet unlikely due to little gain compared to the price.
Looking to spend under $220.
I'm not planning to buy right now, waiting for something to come out that will fit all criteria, so right now just looking for general info.

like when i double click, drag or open really small stuff it takes forever i.e. longer than it does on ANY other comp and the specs are a 2.7 Ghz Celeron with 256 MB Ram and and 80GB hard disk of which iv only filled about 8 GB, so i dont understand, should i buy more RAM? And when i drag windows it leaves that reeeealy slow trail, the same with videos, if i play any video, once i increase the size of the viewer the slower and skippier it becomes, even the sound sometimes...Help please!!

I'll be building a computer soon and I have been wondering whether or not to get a high-end Pentium 4 (around 3.6GHz), or a kinda low-end Core 2 Duo at 1.9GHz. What's better when it comes to performance? Would the performance difference be noticeable between the two processors? What would be a better buy? What do you guys suggest?

Other than the fact that macs cannot get a lot of the viruses that PC's get...Why else would people prefer Macs over PC in Graphics design and animation and stuff like that??
