If anyone can recommend me a good motherboard to buy that has good clocking capabilities for a p4 1.8A. I was also wondering if anyone could tell me wether the new msi motherboards for the p4 as good as clocking as it's amd boards. I would really apprceciate it. Thanks! email me at upstage-5@attbi.com
 
No doubt about it. I got my MSI Ultra 845 ARU and I could run my 1.6A @ 2208 (FSB 138MHz) at stock voltage and stock HSF
Go for MSI, my opion
 
Check out the Epox 4BDA it is only $98 dollars at pricewatch, and it has the feature to lock the PCI and AGP bus at 33/66. This is the same feature that Abit has on their mobos. Keeping those in spec can really help overclocking.
 
I would think it depends on your budget. I have set up 5 different computer with a 1.6 northwood and I have gotten them all to at least to a 133 MHz FSB. The first board I tried was the Abit BD7 it ran fine and I just had to do a little tweaking to get it all nice and stable. Next was the Gigabyte board that anand choose as the anandtech recommended. It also ran fine but needed a little tunning. The epox also OCs well and I don't see any problems with those boards aswell. The trick I think is to get good memory and make sure that your power supple can supply enought current to the 12V rail so it is not loaded down. I would just get the board that has the features that you need.

Yeah almost all intel 845 mobo can get at least 133FSB easily.
I use MSI845 ultra-aru, same like PeterPan2002,
run the board on 138 on devault vcore. 1.8A@2.48 Ghz.

if you want to get a PC2700 DDR then i suggest you go
with SiS645 mobo, they run the RAM faster and the price is
about $30 cheaper than the intel845 on the same brand.

If you want 133 fsb and up dont get the Soyo P41 Fire Dragon mine will only do 115 fsb stable. But its very stable.
