cheap dual 370 boards

i have a pair of celeron 366's sitting around (that will both run at 605 with a little extra voltage) and i am looking to put them to use. i don't want to spend a lot of money on a board, and i have found the PC Chips dual socket370 board for $42.00 on procewatch, and ECS D6VAA board for $47 on pricewatch (these are just the cheapest prices, i haven't gone on resellerratings yet). would either of these boards allow me to overclock these chips to at least 550 with some voltage tweaks? i'm not familiar with PC Chips motherboards, but i know that ECS usually doesn't make mobo's that are overclock friendly. i'm not looking for an elaborate mobo, just a cheap decent one, and i would gladly take any suggestions.

thanks!

There are three flavors of that ECS board - the PC-Chips 780 (four PCI and an AMR slot, no RAID) and the ECS D6VAA (five PCI, no AMR) in no-RAID and RAID configurations.

Normally you won't find much overclocking stuff on dual boards, since these usually go into applications where reliability is the #1 criteria.

The D6VAA might allow you to run 66 MHz Celerons at 100 MHz bus (not sure!). If that does it for you then fine. Other boards are much more expensive.

The Abit BP6 is probably the best dual PPGA S370 board made. Very overclockable friendly, lots of voltage settings will run 2 celeron 366 @ 550 with no problems.
These boards can be found new for about $50, less for used boards
