Which?? GA-8IEXP, P4B-533V, 4G4A, 4SDA?

I will soon be buying a new mobo/proc, and am trying to figure out what mobo I want (I will be buying a 1.8A). I plan on trying to OC this board for everything it is worth... Which would you suggest? I have pc266 RAM, so additional RAM ratios is very good... Thanks for any input.

Actually for DDR266 is rated only for PC2100 so additional ratios would not be very useful unless you can overclock the ram by a lot.

Yeah, but if I can up the FSB w/o the RAM, it will 🙂

Actually, if he _really_ oc's that 1.8a, he may have to _downclock_ the RAM..

But "downclocking" the RAM will choke your bandwidth hungry P4, so there's no point in getting a mobo that supports DDR333 or DDR400 if your just going to use DDR266 memory.

My advice is to upgrade your RAM to at least PC2700 (DDR333) as well.
