and will it be compatible with my P4 2.53 GHZ CPU.
I dont know what the differences in chipsets are and what goes with what.
 
If you plan on heavy overclocking I would stay away from any Sis chipset. If you want to overclock a lot I would get an Intel chipset based board. I know the Albatron PX845PE PRO II board is supposed to be really good for the price. Its like $117 and it comes with a lot of features (RAID, SATA) and overclocks really well. Here is a review of the board...check it out.

granite bay is expensive.wait a couple weeks and check out the new abit sI7. it uses sis"s new 658 rdram chipset. couple that with support for pc1200 and abits reputation for overclocking ,makes this a formidable board.
