I know everyone here is a big fan of the NF7-S and similar MoBos, however:
1. Although I will be overclocking (Id be getting an athlon XP 2500+ Barton), as the multi is now locked all I need is to be able to easily up the FSB.
2. I already have a decent PCI 5.1 soundcard, so having good onboard sound isnt that important.
3. I have no plans of buying any SATA hard disks in the near future (ive just bought myself a new 80GB IDE Maxtor).
So it seems unnecessary to pay a premium for all these extra things when I wont be using them. Any suggestions as to a nice, simple, stable motherboard, decent for overclocking via the FSB alone?
Cheers for any help guys.
Alex.
PS. Other specs:
Will have a Barton 2500+, radeon 9600pro, 256MB TwinMOS 3200 RAM, Maxtor DiamondMAX +9 80GB, 450CWT PSU.

Any nForce2 should do you then. It is best to stick to nForce2 with locked CPUs as others are always diviser based and will knock PCI/AGP and even IDE out of spec, better avoided. Some nForce2 don't fully impliment both a full PCI and AGP lock so you may wish to stick to the known & popular Asus, Abit and Epox versions. Cheapest nForce2 I know of is as BUFF mentioned
