Many have used the P3B with no problems. Have you considered the new i815 board from Asus? Dunno where you'd get it though.

Bbbbbbbut, what if he wants to overclock it? :Q

That's a great board - I mean the new ASUS CUSL2. See:

Besides, a board like that deserves a Coppermine, not a Celeron.

Hehe. 1 MHz increments for overclocking.

Looks plenty overclockable to me, whether P3 or Cele.

Did I miss something?

a board like that may deserve a p3, but my little budget can't afford it!!

well....you guys got me thinking now.....maybe between the cusl2 and the new abit se6 (i've had good luck with abits in the past and that cubx has me a little jaded toward asus).
