What is the BEST Overclocking AthlonXP Motherboard for SDRAM

[Peter007]

Thinking about upgrading to the AthlonXP from my beloved Celerons.

I like to reuse my SDRAM Collection, so what is the best Overclockable AMDMB that has support for AthlonXP.

I keep hearing things like 50% success rate in IWILL KK266 with AthlonXP.

Is there a definite list of SRAM AMD-MB that work with AthlonXP?

First things first...... If your SDRAM isnt CL2, your overclock will be iffy.
Now, IMHO...The Abit KT7A is about the best SDRAM motherboard for overclocking. I can get my rig running at 150 mhz FSB with no problems (remember, quality ram is the key here). If you go with at KT7A, make sure its a rev 1.3 board, which has "official" support from Abit for XP/thoroughbred processors.

I got mine from Newegg for $49 as a refurb, but it had never been used

good luck!

Thanks for the reply, any one else?

P.S. How can you tell your ABIT KT7A is a 1.3 version? Does NewEgg actually say it is???

Early awaiting for the next ABIt KT7A refur.

Anyother choices? What version of IWILL's KK266 will work?

I was able to get a KK266 up to at least 140MHz before it started doing weird things. At that point, however, I don't know what was holding me back. It shouldn't have been the RAM as I was using Mushkin's PC133 Rev 3+, but my cooling setup wasn't so great, so that would be my first guess.

The most recent BIOS revision for the KK266 adds Athlon XP support.

Another voice for Abit
All of my Abit moterboard were running super stable, and the oc experience was superior
Get the newest revision if you can though!
Not much experience with Iwill......?
