Hi i was shocked to see the spec of the i5 and i 7 quad core series only support frequencies upto 1333mhz. Let me know is that i cant use 1600mhz

You can use 1600Mhz or higher speed ram modules but you have to get P67/Z68 mobos to use them ;-)

what the difference between these 2 boards

will it support upcoming ivy series processor. which is better i3 or i5. i can go for i5 will overclocking to 4.4 ghz with h70 cooler will beat or match i7

get me the best board support overclocking and natively support dual x16 lanes.

a Z68 chipset based mobo is what you should opt for and the price is around ~11.5-14k ;-)
