DS3 > DQ6 for OC'ing on WC.

DQ6 on high end AC'ing.

DQ6 has older chipset, but faster ICH, and NB and SB.
ASUS P5W DH is awesome motherboard, has Wifi, 4 sata2, just as good OC'able as DQ6, and 975x chipset, but ICH7, but still just as fast, google DQ6 vs P5W DH and see for yourself.

If your looking for sli, wait for the nforce mobo to come for conroe, its a few days away from release last time i checked.

I have a P5W, but I haven't even turned it on yet. With vmods, it's supposed to be good up to 500FSB. Anyways, the DS3 is recommended for the Allendale Core 2 Duo's (6300 & 6400) since it is capable of a higher maximum FSB, while the DQ6 is recommended for the Conroe Core 2 Duos (6600, 6700, 6800) for a reason that escapes me at the moment. I can go look it up if anyone is interested.
As a final note, 'unofficial' drivers are available to run SLi on the P5W...

I spent hours researching this stuff for myself. It's no hassle to me to turn around and help out other people. Glad I could help you.
