    Nvidia i680 based mobos are horrible when it comes to Quad overclocking.
    You will be lucky to get 400MHz fsb, so at 3600MHz (400x9) you should be ok, assuming the Evga won't have any worse Vdroop than your AB9.

    The closest thing to non existent Vdroop, would an be Asus motherboard with the P35/X38 chipset. The have an option in the BIOS called "Voltage Damper" which, when enabled it reduces Vdroop a lot. I was using a P5K Deluxe and when I selected 1.45V in the BIOS, I used to get 1.425V in Windows.
