Intels do overclock better because they have longer pipes(same reason they got to so high clock speed in retail processors), however overclocking them that high does not give as amazing performance as you may think. and onto the DFI statement, DFI boards have been shown by every review ive read to give the highest FSB possible period, no matter what RAM you use... so if you are looking for EXTREME OC'ing then go for DFI, it can go that extra mile, also it has tons of accessories and good support... just my opinion but they can't be beat.
