O/C mobo recommendation for a P4

I am thinking about replacing my Asus P4S533 so that I can overclock my P4 2.26GHz without any problems. I didn?t plan on overclocking when I built this computer since it was my first time, but now it just doesn?t feel fast enough. The P4S533 is disappointing because it has no AGP/PCI lock, so overclocking can cause some strange problems and isn?t very stable. What would be a good overclocking mobo to replace the P4S533 in my setup? It needs to support DDR 333, have an AGP/PCI lock, adjustable DDR voltage, and support all of the other devices in my current system. Also, if I do purchase a new mobo, will I have to reinstall the OS(Windows XP)?

My current setup:
-Asus P4S533🙁
-Pentium IV 2.26GHz
-512MB Corsair XMS PC2700
-GeForce4 Ti4400
-SoundBlaster Audigy Gamer
-ATA/100 80GB 7200rpm HD

Possible motherboard choices(feel free to recommend others):
-Asus P4PE
-Asus P4B533-V
-Abit BE7
-Gigabyte GA-8SG667
 
I think most would recommend the Asus P4PE.Maybe check the AlbatronPE boards they oc well and are normally cheaper.
When you get a new mobo you will probably need to repair(basically reinstalls all windows files and finds the new hardware but leaves your other files intact) your Winxp install.
