I am wanting to buy one of these boards locally to overclock a pentium 4 2.0 northwood.

I like the idea of the 400mhz memory on the P4S533 but I am worried about stability. The MSI board has the 845e chipset but will only run the memory at 266/2100 ddr.

Anyone have any opinions on these two?

Compusa has them locally and I don't want to wait to order and these two seem to be among the few choices.

I would really appreciate any advice. I have only owned Asus and Abit motherboards but I know in the past SIS based products were very unstable.

I've got the P4S533, 1.8A@2.52 with Mushkin pc3200 set at 4:5 ratio and it runs great, stable and temps are good.
