Motherboard Advice

[Belldo]

I am looking into buying a new motherboard soon for my p4. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good overclocker friendly board that won't break the bank. Oh yeah i have a 1.6GHz socket 478 chip

MSI Neo is supposed to be the great ocer, but lowest price shows 155 (pricegrabber)

I just got an Abit BH7 from googlegear.com for $83.95 delivered(free UPS 2-day) to replace my old Epox 4SDA(SiS645 chipset). I am running a P4 1.8A at 2.4GHz with less voltage than it took with the Epox and I haven't had one bit of instability and I've been torturing the heck out of it trying to make it crash. I can honestly recommend this board, especially for the price.

It is also capable of Hyper Threading and 800FSB when those chips come into my pricerange.

Hmmm, I dont think it is worth saving $14.00, go new.
