I need help choosing a motherboard for a XP 1600+

It must support SDRAM and have overclocking features.

Please advise.

So far, I'm looking at MSI K7T Turbo2

It's a KT133A board.

I would get a Abit KT133A board, but I'm not sure if their's supports Athlon XP's.
 
The MSI board is a good one for what you want (SDRAM and overclocking). I would choose that over the ABIT board. I built one with the MSI Turbo2 for my wife and she's a "happy camper". I haven't overclocked it much but the options are there if needed. Is the CPU unlocked?
 
If you are not experienced in this sort of thing, it can be a bit tricky; at least compared to the "regular" Athlons which you could basically use a pencil to do.
Here is one way to do it, but there are many. Just do a "google" search and you will find many options.
I'd recommend that you leave well enough alone and just do some FSB (possibly with some minor voltage changes) first and see how far you can do. You can also do a search for "Overclocking Guide" and get many good tutorial pages.
 
Ah, we meet again, so far from the Collective. The ABIT K7 series can assimulate your Palamino with minimum implants, once assimulated it will accept the hive as its home.

When we first saw him jim he was selling cars with rich Corinthian leather.
That's right Bones, but now he's wearing it.
