Best Mobo for overclocking duron

I bought a Duron 800mhz and a Gigabyte mobo. The mobo is fine but it cannot change the mulitiplier in the bios. I refuse to cut the bridges on the processor, so which are some of the mobos that have the multiplier adjustment in the bios? Prices would be helpful, but I can find those on my own since I know which mobo I'm looking for. I've heard about the Abit and Asus mobos that have the multiplier adjustment. Are there any others?
 
I have the Abit KT7A and a Duron 800. As I understand to overclock using the multi you need to unlock the cpu. I gave it a try but could not paint the small L1 bridges with the defogger, so I just upped my FSB to 115x8=920 add some volts was well it pretty staight forward hope this helped
 
"I refuse to cut the bridges on the processor", ummm, other way around. You need to connect the bridges. And no matter what motherboard you have, you need to do that, if you want to overclock via multiplier method. If you want to overclock via the FSB, there are no modifications needed on the processor.

BTW, I used a defogger repair kit, cut all the bristles off save one, from the included brush, and bada-bing, its unlocked. Have some nail polish remover around in case ya can't do it the first time, and your all set.
 
I refuse to CUT the bridges, not connect them. That is piece of cake with a simple pencil. I have it running at 920mhz already with the fsb set at 115mhz. I want to know a mobo that will be able to adjust the multiplier, once the L1 bridges are connected.
