I need a highly expandable, overclock-friendly board because I really think that the one I have is dead. The bios will not update properly, freezes in "chipset management", and now won't even boot up. Cute, right? This is an extension of my last thread, http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48567

Please help me out... I can't be without my main system for long; I gots deadlines ;)

what can I say besides Asus CUSL2. Or the Tualitin version if you need it, the TUSL2. I've used em, I like em. The TUSL2 is a bit dodgy in the BIOS, but works fine for me.

That's the only newer board I can recommend, unless you want a bunch of 440BX and Pro133A suggestions:)

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Can you link me to a good distributor? I need to ship this thing same day.

I've had pretty good luck with Mwave.com. They process orders fast and have a large stock. Good luck.

There's some discussion on whether there might be voltage problems on the TUSL2 boards. As for alternatives, Abit boards are quite good. VH6T and ST6 are a couple of the T versions that seem like they overclock well (from what I've read). I'm using a VH6-2 and waiting on an AOpen board.

BTW, might receive a better response if this was in Intel Motherboards.

The Vendor Discussion forum might have the info you're looking for regarding shipping, too.

I think you should go with the ST6..

Heard The TUSL2 is buggier than the ST6 when it comes to overclocking.
