Tech Wizards -

I am just getting my hands wet with building a system and would appreciate some help.

I recently got an AGOIA 1600, understanding that it is an excellent OCer.
Now, I have been looking for a MBD like mad but am all confused.

If I understand proper,
The XP 1600+ runs at a stock clock frequency of 133 MHz (and a fsb of 266).
So, if I intend to OC w/o messing with the multiplier (and thus avoiding unlocking the CPU) but just by changing the FSB, I need to look for a MBD that supports a FSB of atleast 333 MHz, right?

I guess some of the 266 boards would do a lil higher than the suggested 266 but not very much so, right?

Please help me clarify the above and also present some suggestions for good OC-able MBDs to go along with my CPU.

I am just a -

I'm interested as well. Also, what are some chipsets to look for/stay away from. I'm really anxious to check out new NForce boards but too antsy to wait for upcoming review. Ideas? Thoughts?

I'd look at the new Nforce2 chipset. If not then get a solid Kt333 board and do a bit of overclocking.
