I've built a couple of "budget" systems with Duron 700's using the Biostar M7VKL (integrated Video & Audio). Easy build, no problems. Not worth a dang for O/Cing

ddad, i built a system with the same motherboard, bought a 700mhz duron, cut the bridges and penciled in the correct ones to acheive 900mhz, then used the fsb to acheive 982mhz. its a much faster system than my celeron 566@850 and my other p3 600@800. not bad for 130 bucks in my oppinion.

That's my point- when you have to cut bridges instead of closing them and then change something (bios, dip switch, jumpers), the board is not good for OC/ers.
I have had mine up to 784 with the FSB
