MB for Athlon XP 1600+ AGOIA

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?
