Hmmm... I think the only board that supports 333fsb and has onboard video would be an Nforce 2 board.

no no no no... such poo!

Abit AT7-MAX2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can either go with the NForce2 or look around to see if there is any KT400 boards that have on board video.

I have said this so many times but I will say it again. The Epox 8k3a+. Untill we see how the Nforce 2 does this is really the best overclocking board out there. Its pretty simple, in addition to the normal features the other KT333 boards have, such as 1/5 divider, the Epox has Vcore adjustments up to 2.2v and Vdimm to 3.2v. Those voltage adjustments will come in very handy when doing extreme overclocking.

Curious why your friend is set on onboard video & sound.

For $87 you could get an Abit Kx7-333:

Or, for $99 you could get the 8K3A:

Add a Radeon 8500 for $75 and you've got a hell of a set-up. Certainly better than the current nForce stuff. That also leaves you open to video upgrades in the future. If your friend isn't a gamer then an older Video card is even less (and if they get hooked on games - they can upgrade.)

edit - Remember, the Kx7-333 does NOT have onboard sound, so if you don't want to spring for a TBSC then get the ePox

Its, a good MP board. Certainly the best for overclocking as you can increase the vcore, change the multi and can go up to 150 MHz fsb. Hope you enjoy it.
