I bought the GIGABYTE GA-M55SLI-S4 Socket AM2 motherboard just a couple of days ago but I've been reading up on it and seems like it's cant overclock worth c**p.

So, I'm planning on returning it and buying the DFI INFINITY NF ULTRAII-M2 Socket AM2 mobo:

1) Is the GIGABYTE's BIOS that limited? I'm planning on OC'ing my X2 3800+ from 2.0 to 2.4/2.5 and I've heard that this mobo is just unstable and doesnt have option to increase HT, which apparently causes instablity.
2) I have 2GB Patriot Memory 667MHz:

First of all, this is compatible with the new mobo right? Can this be overclocked, cuz I'm overclocking my CPU?
3)Think I should go for the change? Is the DFI any good? Will I be asked to pay the restocking fee at newegg?
Wow, this is UrGEnT, I need to decide in the next three or four hours. Thanks mucho for your contribution guys. And need many replies.
