Just wanted to see if anyone had a recommendation for a micro ATX mobo to go with a Athlon 64 3200+. Choices are:

AOpen MK-89L (NForce 3 150)
DFI K8M800-MLV (Via)
Gigabyte GA-K8VT800M (Via)
MSI "K8MM-ILSR" K8M800 (Via)

I want to overclock, so am worried about the Via boards not having a working PCI/AGP lock. But I've also heard that the NForce 3 150 boards are hit-or-miss with respect to the lock working. Anyone verified if the locks work on any of these boards?

Any other thoughts on overclocking with these micro-ATXs? The selection of boards is pretty limited.

Thanks,

i noticed that micro ATX mobos arent as good as the ATX ones in terms of overclockability...i might be wrong though..
