Abit IS7 or IC7, Asus P4P800 or P4C800, all are good OCing boards. I had a 2.8E prescott at 3.5ghz on the P4P800.

PSP800 SE is nice and cheap.

this board?

Yup, but I could have swore that board also had a few IEEE slots. Not that would be much use though.

I've owned: abit is7-e2 / msi neo2-p / asus p4p800-se -- All have allowed me to hit over 250fsb for the cpu.

Personally, I liked the MSI board the best...good presentation, nice cables, good bios features, and price. The Asus is about $10-12 more and has nothing to offer over the MS from a feature stand point...never dealt with tech support for either company.

The last of the great Abit boards: IC7, IC7-G, AI7. Had all of them. The 875s would turn at over 300 fsb lacking only in extreme vDIMM. AI7 had extreme vDIMM but topped out around 280ish. Had IC7-Max3 as well, but vDIMM issues not worth the $$$.
