Which motherboard to choose?

Hello,


I was told to come here by a friend in my dorm. I am currently looking at upgrading my system. I just ordered a ATI RADEON 9700 Pro and to go along with it, I am going to upgrade my whole system.

Currently, I have:

Asus P2B-DS 1.06
Intel PIII 800MHz x 2
1 gig PC133 SDRAM
2 WD 120GB 8meg HD's
1 IBM 120GXP 80GB hd
TDK 40/12/40 CD-RW
Hercules GTXP 6.1
... and so on...


Anyway, the prospective upgrade (along with the video card) looks something like:


Intel 2.26a processor
512MB PC3200 memory (brand? Corsair XMS 512mb?)

some sort of decent CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive


but my question is: What motherboard should I get for moderate overclocking. I would expect to get the 2.26 into the 2.5 or 2.6GHz range (as high as is stable with only moderate air-cooling)



What motherboard do you guys reccomend and why?


Thanks!

I plan to buy a 2.26 soon with either an ASUS P4B533-E or P4B533-V.

2.6 is very easy to get with the ABIT IT7. The WD 8mb drives run so well in RAID, which the IT7 has a lot of. Corsair works VERY well. It seem that nearly everyone else thinks highly of Corsair as well.
Are you looking for CD-RW or DVD+RW or what?
