OK, i have overclocked my video card, hell even rebuilt my ALIENWARE computer because of the Intel CC820 Recall. The question i have is, what is the best motherboard for overclocking my Slot 1 PIII 800EB? I want one that supports my PC-800 DRAM (256megs). I am looking at the ASUS P3C-E. Is that a good board to replace my not overclockable Intel VC820? What should i expect to get out of my PIII 800? How does it work, voltage and bus speed will need to be changed? Is the SOFTBIOS as easy as it looks? Any help would be appreciated.

Hrm. Well, the 800EB is not really the easiest chip to OC, Typically, people like to get the 700Es since that allows more eadroom for OCing using the FSB since it starts at 100 instead of 133.

As for a Rambus board that OCs, I have no idea. I try to stay away from that kind of stuff. Winners don't do drugs. :p
