Im thinking up updating my fileserver, torrent slave, and divx player , currently its running on a 800mhz AMD athlon. and to play a div x without stuttering i have to stop all my downloads,

I was thinking of using a e5200 , or maybe a slightly cheaper dual core intel, and undervolting and under clocking it down to about 1.6ghz. so i can have less heat/sound and power consumption.

what MB would you recomend for this set up below abot 50 quid

Im new to this over/under clocking stuff

what sort of options does this have?

edit: if this has decent options, i may buy this one for my desktop to replace my P5KPL-AM which i can use in the server, i can reduce the fsb down on this, but i cannot lower the vcore, so i will need to do a pad mod of sorts .

thats if the P5QL SE iP42 is a decent oc board.

P5QL use a P43 chipset that is a Cheaper P45. But still good.

Depand on your need and the money you can spend on it. Ill prefer the P45 vs the P43 but if you underclock... i cant tell wich one could be better ! I would go for P43+E5200 for the cheapest possible.
