Please excuse my 'n00b'ish type question, and I also apologize if this has been answered like <insert number here> times before. Its been about 1.5 years since my last upgrade, and I've been looking around this week for a new motherboard / cpu / ram upgrade, only to see there is quite a bit of options. I only need an upgrade thats gonna last me about 1 year give or take, and with price consideration in mind, I've more or less decided a P4 1.8 OC'd to 2.4 is the most ideal route for me, or so I think :)

My main, and probably very easy question is... which motherboard / chipset do I need to do this ? Mind you I dont need the latest / greatest / most expensive chipset out there at the moment, just something that will give me no hassles (OC easily)and get the job done, with some decent/good performance to boot. 845 ? 845E ? 845G ? 850 ? something else ? I've had nice experiences with Asus in the past, and trust them, but please give me all relaible manufactuers these days if ya can.

Thanks so much.

Asus makes some pretty good overclocking boards

I845E Chipset
Asus P4B533

Sis645DX Chipset
Asus P4S533

Both are good overclockers. Check out this thread for more details.
