Whats the best combo for m/b, memory and P3 700 cpu?

[bannor11]

I'm interested in upgrading my abit bp6 with Celery 550s to a PIII700@933+. What motherboard works best in terms of overclockability? Should I go Slot 1 or socket 370? What brand memory (not too expensive) should go with it? My budget is around $450...maybe $500 max. Thanks.

The MS6309 is a solid board and took my 600e up to 800 without any problems not to mention you can get them pretty cheap. Got mine for $85 plus S&H. I don't know how well it'll work with a PIII 700, just make sure it's cB0. If you want cheap RAM, Nanya chips work fine if aren't planning on using CAS-2. If you want higher-end RAM, Infineon is probably your best bet.

P.S.
Get the 750 cB0 FC-PGA - it's just a little more than the 700.
