[jammw69]

hi, i have a question about motherboards. i am getting ready to build me a new computer . i am looking for a cheap but reliable motherboard that i can overclock the cpu easily. i know cpu ,s are not really easy to overclock cause i have done it to a couple already. if u have any suggestions on the best to buy and any info on them please let me know. any ideas on cpu would be helpful also . what type of celeron cpu should i buy. thanks

The Best Combo is the Celeron1.1A for 80$ and the Abit ST6 for 80$ for 160$ that combo will probably get you up to 1.5GHZ rock stable with a 15-20$ heatsink....

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS

PS: If you want a little higher end board the Shuttle and Gigabyte P4 boards are great for price/performance (60-80$) and a P41.6A will oc to like 2.4-2.5GHZ (180$)

I agree w/ funnyperson1...the 1.1a and an ST6 will put you where you want to be. I got my Abit VH6T for a little cheaper than the ST6, so if money's real tight (like it was for me), that would be my second option...

and welcome to the forums!

Try www.Newegg.com they have the Abit board for 73 bucks and $10 s/h. I am looking to get one of those myself in the next week or so. Good luck, OC'ing is an addiction.

For motherboards, newegg.com, mwave.com (multiwave), directron.com, or pui.com (power up) are all reputable online retails that I've done business with before that generally have good prices.
