Once again, I need an opinion on upgrading. What's an ideal combination for overclocking? Stick with an Abit mobo? I was looking at the Abit SA6R and a PIII 667. It's 322 at mwave. I'm not too current with Intel stuff right now, since the last Intel box I had was a Celeron 333.

Also, if I choose to stick with AMD, what's a good mobo? I've heard that MSI has a really good one. Or should I stick with Abit here too?

I know the DDR stuff is on the verge of coming out... but I don't really want to wait too long.

edit: Do you think this is a fair price for the following...
Athlon 550
Abit KA7
128 megs PC133 3-3-3
Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra
Diamond MX300
6.2GB 5400 hard drive
48x CDROM

Just the above, no case, for 385 dollars? I used pricewatch to get the prices as new, and took 15 percent off the total. Too cheap, too expensive, or just right?

Also, for my upgrade, I'm considering right now an Asus CUSL2 and PIII667.

ASUS CUSL2 or CUSL2-C and a 700E. The 700E will give you more headroom for overclocking, and costs almost the same as the 667EB.
