Okay it is seriously time for a MB upgrade (from a K7S5A), even if I hate to see old faithful go. I am not interested in a VIA400/600, or a SIS746. This leaves me with only the NForce2 to choose. I know absolutely nothing about NF2 boards. I have 100 dollars, and will have to stay below that, Period (cuz, my wife said so). I do not need Raid or double lan, or 5.1 sound since I already have all those PCI cards. What to choose EPox, Abit, Asus, Leadtek, Soyo, to many choices, and not a single clue. I do want to overclock (fsb, and multipliers).
Right now my 2600+ does 2400mhz (150X16) on a crappy board with cheap memory at stock vcore (1.65). I think the odds are it will do 166X14.5 (2416mhz) on an NF2. I have two sticks of Hyper X 2700 CAS2 DDR that the K7S5A will not recognize.
Help me with choices.
