best pentium 4 motherboard?

I am looking for a motherboard to support a pentium 4 2.4 or 2.6 with the best features for the best price. I'm building a system for a friend on a budget. Around 100 dollars max with onboard sound and a good overclocking feature set. Thanks

The search button is your friend

Why don't you read downt the front page of the intel mobo section and tell me how many times this has been asked?

I don't mean to be rude, but try not to ask questions like this. Try to be more speciffic, and don't expect to get a truly deffinitive answer, because with this type of question you will see there are many mobos which many different people would consider the best.

If you have enough money I would say get the p4c800-e. If you have a little less money get the 4pca3+ rev2. If you have even less money get the p4c800 or is7, and if you want the absolute cheapest I think the is7-e would be the one.

to help me find one. but i agree gouda96, the best thing u can do is to search around for the particular one u like

Well... the "best" mobo in my opinion would probably be the Abit IC7-Max 3, but it ain't cheap. The best for under $100 with all the features you want would be the Abit IS7-E ($91 shipped from newegg.com). About the only other choice I might recommend woudl be comparable Asus models.

If you are buying a 2.4 or 2.6 than a max3 is pretty much out of the question. It has a 5:4 divider problem that severly limits oc's, so unless you get a 2.8 or higher, or you get pc4x00 crap memory you shouldn't look to waste that much money.
