Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could make suggestions on the best MB for an athlon mobile xp 2600+. I was running it on my msi kt3 ultra2 rock solid at 2.45 ghz. However, I just bought an ATI X800 Pro and it doesn't seem to like the overclocked system. After going back to default speeds, the system is rock solid again. I would really like to keep the x800 pro, but would like to be able to overclock my CPU again. I figure my problem probably has to do with the lack of AGP/PCI freq lock on the msi kt3 ultra2.

So can anyone recommend a good, stable board that can be used to overclock too? I would like to have AGP/PCI lock on this.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

I'm always hearing about how good the abit nf7-s and dfi ultra something are. Both are nforce2 ultra i think. Look on newegg for 'em.

Be careful when ordering. There is a NF7-S v.2 and an NF7-S2, and they aren't the same, even though the names are similar. Avoid the NF7-S2.
