Which board to get? Alton M790MR or ECS D6VAA?

Anyone knows if it's easy to overclock with that Alton (or Pcchips) M790MR dual Socket 370 motherboard? I know that the ECS D6VAA dual Socket 370 is a good overclocking board and i'd also heard that those Alton dual boards are the same as those ECS dual boards...Is that true? Please give me some info on that board! Anyone?

Just bought the ecs d6vaa board for my dual 933's. If you flash the bios to the 1st version you can change the voltage. I can get 1.02 without the voltage increases. I flashed to the 1 st. bios and can only get to 966 no matter what i change the voltage to!!!!!!!!! Strange!!!!!!!
Cheap price Less than $55.00 shipped!
 
The 790MR, while stemming from the same design as the D6VAA, is slightly different.
You get one PCI slot less and an AMR slot instead (modem usually included!), and while
the D6VAA is available in a version with an extra IDE controller onboard, there is no
such option for the 790.

Other than that, they're identical.

So which means the Alton board can be overclocked easily like the ECS board right? My cousin had the ECS D6VAA baoard and it overclocked like crazy....at 150 FSB with no voltage tweaking and the original fan from Intel....So i'm just wondering if they two are both good for overclocking! Guess what Celerons will run at on those boards? hehe...you neva know!!!


Thanks,
