What under your hood

Ill try it this way if you have an intel 875 or 865 motherboard and you have no problems with it please list your specs here. Im trying to figure out which motherboard im going to get i wouldnt mind some soft overclocking but im not an overclocker i want speed, STABILITY, and as close to a problem free mobo as possible any recommendations?

The Intel Bonanza i875 board is probably what you're looking for. It doesn't have alot of overclocker friendly features but it is very fast and very stable when running stock.

You can't really go wrong with an Intel motherboard with an Intel chipset and and Intel CPU.

I use a discontinued mobo, the msi 865pe neo2 LS with 2.4b running at 2.88 (160 fsb and 400 for the memory). I even formatted the hardrive and reinstalled win2k yesterday with no problems using the overclocked settings. This board has a fairly quiet northbridge fan, and cpu voltage up to 2.1. I run mine at 1.55, reading as 1.5 in the core center monitoring program.
