Socket A Micro ATX board

Can anyone recommend a m-ATX board with the nForce 2 chipset and must support both a 400 mhz FSB AND DDR400. The only one I can find is the MSI K7N2GM2 but some sites say it only supports DDR333 whilst others say it will do DDR400 (providing you dont use the integrated graphics). Can anyone clear this up o recommend another more suitable board.

Thanks
 
The Nforce2 IGP (with integrated graphics) maxed out "officially" at 333MHz FSB, though IIRC it supported DDR400 - so 400MHz RAM, 333MHz FSB. For 400/400, you'd need Nforce2 Ultra 400 or Nforce2 400, and neither has integrated video. One mATX board I can think of off hand (since I used to have one) is the Chaintech 7NIL1, a mATX board using the Nforce2 Ultra 400 chipset. It is a nice little board if you can get it, just don't expect it to have overclocking features in BIOS. It supports... basic FSB to about 232MHz in BIOS - that's it. No voltage or multipliers. Of course you can do the "wire trick..."
