looking to find which board locks pci/agp speeds while overclocking CPU.
does the bg7 withe the 845g chipset do it?
also does the P4X333 chipset do it?
i'm looking for a micro-atx board if possible.(bg7 also comes micro).

the Asus P4B266 can lock AGP and PCI using the chipset "turbo" settings. These settings do not set it to the default 33/66 though, its slightly higher, and ive found that sound blaster lives act erratic with the turbo1 and turbo2 settings in the bios. If you can find a soundcard that doesnt have a problem with a slight pci overclock, itll work great. I use a sound blaster live extigy and it handles great with all settings as its external and works through the usb controller, which doesnt seem to fail at any fsb.

Most of the decent i845x and i850 boards can do it. I dont think the P4X333 can. Besides, its VIA...ick :p

i haven't had a problem with via since the first few chipsets.
and it looks like the P4X333 kicks ass.

IT7 looks good,but it's the "E" chipset.
isn't the BG7 with the "G" newer and better?
