I need help finding an awesome motherboard to upgrade. I will find a processer to upgrade to as soon as I find the motherboard to put it in. It can be for a Pentium 3, AMD, or Thumderbird. I am looking for a motherboard that has fast memory speed, ATA 100(I could always buy a promise card i guess), AGP x4, at least 4 or 5 pci slots, stablability, overcloaking options in bios and\or dipswitches that include 1 mhz steps and able to go high on voltage, ATX, heat sensing mobo, major bios and\or soft bios options, basicly the best mobo i can find that has no video or sound built in for under $200. Dont want dual processers though. What does everyone suggest? Here is my system now.

celeron 2 566 OC to 875mhz
P6BAT A+ (v2.0) motherboard
Asus V7700 Deluxe Geforce 2 GTS video card
Sound Blaster Live X-Gamer
Nec MultiSync 95 19" monitor
DSL

P.S. I will post a review on the motherboard that i buy when i get it.

also you can look to see if your PB is in this list and to see what form factor your mother board is. Click here (http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/8774/pbcase.html)

You should check into the Abit KT7 dude, its supposed to be one awesome board. It takes thunderbirds and durons. And since you seem to be and overclocker, you might consider getting a Duron 800 or so, and put it up to like 1100... http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

They can handle it!
