Need a good overclocking P4 board

My 8SQ800 won't overclock so i'm looking for a new mobo. If I try anything higher than 156fsb it won't boot. I know my cpu isn't the problem because I was able to boot it at 170fsb in my TH7-II. When I try to oc the 8SQ I get random reboots and the sound doesn't work. I want a mobo that will let me oc to at least 158fsb. I also want dual channel DDR. Any recommendations?
 
Albatron PC865PEV Pro II is great, Abit IC7-G, Abit IS7

all have active cooling on the chipset and price themselves on their overclocking ability. I took my IS7 up to 220Mhz FSB and booted into windows. My memory being PC3200 is the bottlekneck here. If I had say PC3500 I could go much higher.

I've settled on 210Mhz FSB (420Mhz DDR) and CPu of just over 2.7Ghz (2.6C)
