good solid p4 MB

[Poncherelli]

I'm looking for a good solid MB that will overclock a 1.8a P4 to 2.4 (133 fsb) easily, uses DDR, has lots of options for OCing (like memory ratios and pci locks), and preffereably has onboard lan and usb 2.0. I would really like to get it from newegg also, so can anyone suggest a motherboard that meets these criteria? I need to order it soon also, thanks.

I don't think anyone will able to recommend a mobo to overclock anyone's 1.8a@133fsb EASILY.

My friend has a 1.8a, with the Epox 4G4A+.... and the HIGHEST he can keep it stable is at 2.53Ghz, but... The 4G4A+ is a great board, thats the one I have my eye on

epox 4g4a+ is a lot cheaper at mwave.com than newegg.... thats where i got mine from - $116.63

hows the onboard sound on this mb? compared to a tbsc or audigy for games/music/dvds, does it sound good? thanks.

sorry, don't know... first thing i did was plug in my TBSC

 

[brunswickite]

was the mwave board retail? cuz on there website it doesnt say anything

All MWave boards are retail in sealed box. They're one of the best on the internet for sales. I go to the will-call at the warehouse all the time.

i just built a new system with a gigabyte GA-81EXP works great!

has everything..see the reviews on Toms Hardware, Anandtech and Arstechnica - all rated it #1

relatively cheap at newegg (where i bought it) linky

has superb OC'ability and includes software to help you optimize your OC'ing experience ("OOBOCE" out of box overclocking experience)

has lan, usb2 (6 ports!) , firewire (4 ports) , on board promise raid, 4 ide channels (ata 133) , smart card, ir, cf, 3 DDR slots, 533 fsb, onboard audio etc etc etc

you will be very happy
