Need a cheap 939 mobo that OCs well

[mazeroth]

I'm helping my brother piece together a budget gaming rig and need some advice on a good 939 motherboard that will overclock an A64 3000+ well. I think we'll be using Corsair Value Select 2x512 PC3200 and would like to up the processor from 1.8ghz to at least 2.2ghz. I was looking at this Epox:

We can go cheaper, or maybe a few bucks more.

Thanks!

This is cheaper and has passive chipset cooling so will be quieter.

As long as you do not need to overclock beyond FSB = 274, this is a great overclocker.

This one is refurbished but its new just like the one I bought. It probably will miss installation CD or back plate. but you can download the drivers from their website.
If reluctant in refurb. the new one costs $67. It overclocks to 270mhz on stock vcore.
but w/ voltmods it will go as high as cpu can take it.

Biostar Tforce6100-939 $69

The price is right. 😉

I've got two of them as refurbs ($43 each, still available but basically you get board only). They work really well and overclock like crazy. I've only tried 300MHz HTT so far but it does that with no problems and is passively cooled.
