Title sezz it all, I had my eye on this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813128263

I would apprechiate linkage to other decent boards.

 

[keeleysam]

:thumbsup: on that board

 

[Bona Fide]

Another good one is the Epox board everyone's always talking about. It's slightly over your budget, at $106. Seems to be worth it though.

I am ok with between $80-$120. $100 on average.

DFI

 

[Shenkoa]

Oh, forgot it has to be AGP.

This DFI has a AGP slot http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136161

Overclocking? If not, Soltek nforce3's offering is supposed to be the fastest at stock speeds. Gets decent clocks too.

I plan on getting the 3000+ and overclocking it as far as I can get it. It will help that I have an air conditioner blowing directly into my PC and at the moment my 2 GHz P4 which is overclocked to the 2.7 is running at 26C Idle.

Also, I only have PC3200 RAM. I am not familar with how newer BIOS versions work, is there a lock for my RAM speed so that it wont limit me.

Has to be a good overclocking board.

 

[Shenkoa]

Is the DFI the best as far as overclocking goes?

 

[keeleysam]

in AGP, teh MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum is the best overclocker. Ran my 3500+ Newcastle at 2.8, and my 4400+ runs at 2.6

 

[Shenkoa]

Looking for a Nforce 3 board with AGP around the $80-$120 level that will overclock like a mutha ( Very Important cause I plan on overclocking the the Venice 3000+)

Soltek....

This guy said "Overclocking? If not, Soltek nforce3's offering is supposed to be the fastest at stock speeds. Gets decent clocks too. "

 

[Shenkoa]

I wish someone would help me.

Should go for DFI or Soltek for overclocking.

 

[Shenkoa]

Also, whats faster newer VIA chipsets or Nforce 3 and 4?

 

[tw33ter]

if you're overclocking, go with dfi
