Here's two options. Get the Epox EP-8KTA3 for $126 shipped.

Or the MicroStar (MSI) MSI K7T Turbo for $119 + shipping (starting at $8) here:

For the 1 GHz O/C, try 7.5 and 133 MHz. Everything is on-spec at 133 MHz and you want the FSB at least that high for best performance. For Durons, it's important to keep the multiplier below 9.5 because that's the maximum that the small cache can compensate for.

If you would be happy with a kt133 (not kt133a) board, the fic az11e can be had for 88 bucks (pricewatch). It has multiplier, core voltage and fsb support (jumpers/dips, not bios i think). I don't have this board, so I have no experience with it, but it might be worth a look if cost is a major concern. If not i would probably grab an iwill kk266.

KT133 motherboards are cheaper, but KT133A will let you go up to 133Mhz FSB or more (which is what you want, since Duron's cache is small).
Plain KT133 don't support much more than 112Mhz FSB. You want to keep your multiplier low, so it can be "worth it" overclocking.

I didn't try it myself, but MSI's Turbo-R seems to be a hell of a good KT133A board...
