What's the best motherboard for overclocking an old Celeron 300A CPU?

[oLLie]

Thanks-in-advance everyone.

(If any of you have this type of motherboard PM me, I might be interested in buying it).



*edit* BTW: how do I overclock the 300A to 450? Is it this?

Abit BH6...I'm typing on one right now. It's just a quick menu bios change.

Haha, go for the Abit BX6 REV 2.0......it's the best. I still am using it. After buying it and overclocking the Celeron 300a to 450, I am using it to overclock at Celeron 566 to 850mhz.

To overclock, just pop in the cpu and when it boots, go to the bios menu. Then, just change the BUS speed from the default 66mhz to 100mhz.

300mhz = 66mhz X 4.5
450mhz = 100mhz X 4.5

You can't do anything about the 4.5 cuz it's the built in multiplier that is in the chip.

Soyo SYBA+III....overclocks well and is very stable.

duh... Abit BH6. together with a Celeron 300a, they make "the original" overclockers combo.

The Abit boards are supposed to be good.
I used an Asus P2B however and it is prolly the most stable setups I've ever had. The Celeron333 @ 416 I'm currently running on it (sold the 300A) is more stable oc'ed than at default speed. The only minus is that fsb and multiplier (not that you need to care about that since it'll only run at 4.5 since it's locked) is set via jumpers.
