I've got a barton 2500 (333 fsb) on the way and will be looking for a good motherboard. As more of a hobby than anything, I must overclock as much as possible. Within the $150 range or so, what motherboard has the best FSB for overclocking? I'd prefer one that would allow me to set the CPU multiplier after unlocking it as well...

Thx

Thanks... Got another question... I'm wanting to oc the fsb as much as possible. Should i get some RAM that is faster than 333 mhz? Would it be worth my time to use old heatsink/fans on the north and southbridge? How would I secure those on there?

Thx

yes to all of those questions...

you will have much higher fsb overclocking results with fast memory

the northbridge heatsink can geat very hot at high speeds thus more cooling is necissary

at very high bus speeds the south bridge also heats up thus also requiring extra cooling

So easy to fry yet tastes so good...
