What motherboard best for OC with PIII 800 with 133FSB

[tennisp13]

Need help, what is a good motherboard is good for OC with PIII 800 with 133FSB.

Also, what MB that accept PC133 and PC150 Memory. I was looking at a SOYO 6BA+100. It that an ok MB to overclock with

Thank.., any comment is help..

PC133/PC150 ram work in any mb that accepts SDRAM.

I would stay away from the BX chipset. Get something with an i815 or a via based mb.

i think it was on Tom's hardware(not sure) they got an Asus CUSL2 booted at ~180mhz fsb, so the CUSL2 gets my vote

Another vote for the CUSL2, or the CUSL2-C which you can find for ~$120.

Thank guys, one more thing. SLOT 1 or socket 370, which is best for OC.

Do you have a P3 800 already? If you're planning on buying one then get the FCPGA model. If you plan on overclocking i'd suggest you look into the P3 700e. You can get one pretested to 933mhz for $190 @ PCNut - that's about the same amount you'll pay for a retail P3 800eb.

screw the CUSL2

a whole bunch of them are inflicted with a "voltage bug" which prevents them from posting at anything higher than your default voltage (1.65v)

an 800 cC0 should hit 8*133 pretty easily. That's just under 1100 MHz. That's damn fast.

BX is performance king, and I must say this MSI BX Master has been a paragon of stability. I'd go for the BX Master. It just totally kicks ass. MSI rules the mobo world right now, far as I'm concerned.

Yes, but your AGP is gonna be running 89 MHz on a BX board.

I'm sure Asus has already addressed the voltage bug in their newer boards. Buying a BX board now doesn't make much sense(although the BXMaster is a killer board). It may still be the performance king but BX is dead and the 815 boards are more hassle free when it comes to overclocking due to the 1/2 agp divider.
