Anyways, I can't recommend mobiles anymore. They're just too iffy. A desktop CG Newcastle is sort of replacing it in my mind as the best choice, a good thing too because these are the easiest to find.
As far as motherboards go, I'd personally rank the Abit KV8 Pro, Epox 8KDA3+/8KDAJ, and Gigabyte K8NS Pro at the top. These are the three smoothest boards ATM. The MSI seems to be having voltage regulation issues and things of the sort. Note that the MSI is still the only choice for mobiles.

With Intel, you have FSB/memory dividers, with AMD, you have CPU/memory dividers. It's not a big difference once you get a hang of things.Hellion said:exept, when over clocking a intel, its all FSB, VOLTAGE, and COOLING. were as with amd's its like for different things, PLUS voltage, and Memory, also cooling, its a lot more complicated COMPAIRED to an intel.
1.Where do you see or in what form do you see the LTD multiplier in the BIOS?
2.Difference between the CPU Multiplier and LTD Multiplier?
3. Do you really need lower values of HTT frequency?
4. Difference between HTT Frequency {1000MHz on the A8V} and FSB (max of 300MHz on the A8V)? I thought AMD's didn't have an FSB.
nVidia nForce3 150- Slightly lower in performance compared to the VIA’s, supports a max effective HyperTransport rate of 600MHz, but sports AGP and PCI locks in most boards, a huge plus. For the boards that don't have PCI locks, some SFF boards, PCI dividers up to HTT/9 are available, so even these shouldn't have trouble overclocking.
