Which Tualatin board is best for overclocking?

[Binox]

I have the Celeron 1.1 (256k) which overclocks to 1.46ghz (133fsb) perfectly @ 1.525 v

but.. I don't like my board (ASUS P3V4X) and power leap adapter combo so I want a real board with tualatin support and voltage adjustments..

first I decided to go for the i815 since it's supposed to be a little faster then then VIA's offering, the 694t. So I looked at the ASUS TUSL2 which turns out it doesn't have voltage adjustments (please correct me if I'm wrong, maybe they have new BIOS?)

so I decided to go for the ASUS TUV4X which is the same board I already have with the latest 694t chipset which will support the tualatin. but just to be sure, I downloaded the manual and it seems that it doesn't support voltage adjustments. Doesn't appear in the book anyway, and compared to where the option is on my bios & book for the P3V4X, it's just missing on the TUV4X

Basically I need a good overclocking board that will support voltage adjustments, and will be fast (-:
what should I get?

these are the boards available in stores nearby: Shuttle AV18ET, MSI 6309-470, Epox 3VSA2, Gigabyte GA6VTXEA

I'd like to get the Abit VH6T which would be perfect for my needs, but can't find it... does someone have it for sell? (-:

I also have a 1.1 at 1.466 but on an asus tusl-2c and very happy with it. I have another asus, tuv-4x with a 1.2 that runs stock but can overclock, only no voltage increase on this mb. The bios does highlight the voltage for the cpu but no adjustment yet.

If you sold your old board with the power leap, you'd have enough for a new tualitan mb plus money left over. I've heard good things about the abit st-6? or whatever their 815 tualitan mb is but no experience with it.

The Abit ST6 is a great Tually overclocker. The Asus TUSL2 has several limitations besides the one you mention.

blackhawk, so the asus tusl-2c supports voltage adjustments?

Couple problems with the TUSL2 for overclockers
1) It does not have manual PCI divider settings. It automatically uses 1/3 @ 132 and below, and 1/4 133 and above FSB. This can case a problem depending on what FSB you run. Say you use 125 FSB. A 1/3 divider is 41.7 PCI / 83 PCI. With a 1/4 divider, 31.25 PCI / 62.5 AGP, which is much closer to spec.

2) Above 140 FSB, all xUSL2 boards go to AGP 2X and slowest mem timings. A GF3 will lock hard in 3D apps because of this. Other cards may have the same problem as well. There is a hacked BIOS that gets around this problem.
