What are the good 800mhz front side bus boards out there?

I'm in the market for one and with the new sprindale and stuff I would like to know a good motherboard for a 800mhz front side bus P4.

It depends on what you are looking for. The Abit IS7 is pretty cheap and has alot of features. You can look at the sticky at the top of the forum for more info.

Yeah I saw that....I have never gone Abit before are they a good brand. I'm not too crazy about extra noise with that fan but i guess that really isn't a big factor.

If you keep your side cover closed I don't notice it.

with the extra stability given with active cooling and a great heatsink I'd take the extra noise. Leaves a bit of room for overclocking

It is a small fan so maybe I can handle it. What about Abit. Are their overclocking abilities good? Are their bios' good? I've been used to Asus.

the internet ( not to mention this site! ) is full of info... once you do a little research, then you can come back and ask informed questions

Well, Abit claims to allow 1200Mhz FSb speeds and their adds are all over the Anandtech site that state "Built for overclockers, by overclockers." You won't get 1200Mhz FSb for a while, but it supposedly can do it.
