    Good tualatin boards?

    A friend got a 1.0A GHz Celeron for free, because the man who orinally purchased it didn't have a comptible mainboard, so he swopped it with a 466 Celeron.

    What mainboard can I recommend him? Something reasonably cheap and that OC's well. Onboard sound is a must too.

    Hmm...ASUS may be the best but is it the best value for money? That board is rather pricey for a value CPU mobo. Is there a specific reason why it's far superior to the other tualatin choices out there?

    Thanks guys.
