How much does a northwood 1.6a plus a P4B266-C mobo run for?

>> thanks, also is there any known problems with this cpu/mobo combo?

Highly flamable if doused in gasoline.

lol that goes for about anything, i heard someone mention something about usb problems with the mobo, anyone know what that is , cause my mouse and keyboard are both usb.
 
I have found that motherboards in general start having USB problems at high frequencies. It's just certain boards have a higher ceiling then others. You should have no problems @ 133-150. Start going past that and all bets are off.

Actually this mobo is really sensitive to overclocking on the USB. It won't boot with USB devices plugged in at even 133. Thats the only thing I have had issue with.
 
For that combo, I got it from Newegg for 267 shipped. My board is jumpered at 138 and I have no problems booting up with my USB mouse plugged in. I like this board. I would recommend it if you are not looking for all the built in sound, nic, etc.

I have the exact same combo and things are working alright. I have a USB hub connected and all my devices on this hub. I am running it at 2.1GHz (133 * 16). Stock HSF.
