Help with supplies for overclocking AMD Athlon 1600+/266 FSB XP Processor

I am considering getting a AMD Athlon 1600+/266 FSB XP Processor with a AGOIA stepping core from newegg.com. I heard this chip was very good for overclocking.
What is a good motherboard and heatsink for this chip if I plan to overclock it? Also, how fast should I overclock this chip with that motherboard? (fsb, etc)

Oh, one more question, what are some good case fans on newegg.com? I need a few more for my case =)
Thanks!
 
nforce 2 motherboard


and a good heatsink say alpha 8045 with good case fans



then you shouldnt have to worry so much about the agp/pci ratio as you can lock that down with nforce 2 boards. or am i wrong in my thinking

no im pretty sure you can lock down agp, and since pci is 1/2 agp, pci should be locked down as well

dont forget swiftech mcx462 😀
 
i have a sk-7 and a vantec tornado 80x80x38, its as loud as a jet but under load my 1600+ is around 40C when OC'ed to 1670mhz
 
I have the same chip with AGIOA core. I run a Epox board with a AX-7 heatsink and a Smartfan2(orange fan). I have my chip overclocked to 1827mhz and super stable at 1.9volts. My temps idle at 35c and run up to 43c at full Unreal2003 load. I do have great case cooling though. Make sure if you are going to up your FSB to make sure you have good cooling on the chipset as well.
