I'm going to be building a gaming machine in a mATX case in the near future and have been eyeing this Biostar board, for use with either an XP2400 that I already have, or an XP-M2600.
Newegg $65.50 shipped
I wouldn't be using the integrated video. The official 400MHz FSB is nice (haven't seen that with the IGP chipset before). What really caught my eye with this board is the availability of limited vcore and multiplier adjustments in BIOS. This is really rare to have a mATX board with any overclocking features at all. The Newegg customer reviews seemed mixed on this board. You have a bunch of people with good overclocking success and flawless boards... and then you have a few (too many to ignore) with DOA or flakey boards. I'd like to have opinions of people here on this board or on suggestions for other mATX socket A boards worth considering. I will want to do minor overclocking.
