Can anyone tell me what motherboard to get? I have an unlocked Athlon XP 1900 that I want to overclock. I was considering the epox 8k3a+ KT333 board, but looking at the layout, I doubt I will be able to get a Thermalright AX-7 or a SVC GC-68 on the CPU with the capacitors so close to the socket. I would like a KT333 board, and was thinking about the Gigabyte or the MSI or the Soltek. How are these three for overclocking? Or, should I get the Abit KR7A like I had originally planned? Thanks

I use the Iwill XP333, even though its not actually a 333 chipset, it still runs nice. (check out my sig for specs of my rig)

i dunno if you are looking to OC to high MHZ speeds or to high FSB speeds, but if you are going for FSB (which in my opinion runs faster) then i suggest the Iwill.

also, you could probably find it for close to $100 (try newegg.com)
