Doing my first Intel build. Got a boxed 2.4A for $75 and figure I'll do my first OCing attempt on it cause I got it cheap and it seems it'll hit 3.0 easily. What is the best OCing board under $75? Or atleast what chipset should I be looking for? I've been looking around the forums alot and it seems that every board that's suggested is over $100 and thats over my budget Also I'll be running SATA drives, will the AGP/PCI Lock lock the onboard SATA? Any help woul be great, never dealt with Intel, SATA or Ocing so this will be interesting. Thanks.

Here are a couple I was looking at

Good choice andres. I have an earlier version of that msi board, and it overclocks my 2.8c by 30%.

Thanks for the help. I just sold the Proc to a friend for $110 and I ordered a 64 3000+ w/ a Chaintech VNF3-250. I just didn't see any MOBO I really liked for the price, I really didn't want the 2.4A either but the price was great. Had to up the budget a little for the 64 set up, but its probably worth it. Thanks again for the help.
